[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pastichio turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked the pasta.

[email protected]I found this pastichio recipe to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some extra spices to the meat sauce next time. Maybe some oregano, basil, and garlic.

[email protected]This pastichio recipe is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try making it with a lighter béchamel sauce next time. Or maybe I'll use a mixture of béchamel sauce and tomato sauce.

[email protected]I love that this pastichio recipe is so versatile. You can use any type of pasta you like, and you can add different vegetables or herbs to the meat sauce. I've even made a vegetarian version of this dish using lentils instead of ground beef.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of béchamel sauce, so I made a few modifications to this pastichio recipe. I used a mixture of ricotta cheese and grated Parmesan cheese instead of the béchamel sauce. The pastichio was still delicious, and it had a lighter texture
