1 onion, chopped
6 ounces portabella mushrooms, chopped
6 ounces 90% lean ground beef

Steps:

  • NOTE: Can use 2 400g canned tomatoes as well.
  • NOTE: Can use 12 ounces of 10 percent beef and omit mushrooms.
  • In same saucepan that pasta was cooked in, COMBINE eggs, milk and cornstarch (also called cornflour).
  • CONSTANTLY stir over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • REMOVE from heat, add fat free parmesan cheese and nutmeg.
  • In large baking dish, LAYER 1/2 pasta, 1/2 tomato sauce then remaining pasta and remaining tomato sauce.
  • COVER with white sauce; make sure to cover all pasta.
  • BAKE for 35 minutes at 170°C (325F).
  • ENJOY!
  • NOTE: Taste tomato sauce mixture and adjust to your preference; ie if you do not like that much garlic, use 2 or 3 cloves.

The pastitsio was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt next time.
