8 oz uncooked bucatini rigati pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground beef round
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
2 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese (5 oz)

Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat; stir in nutmeg and 1/2 cup of the cheese until melted. Slowly stir in beaten eggs with wire whisk until blended. Arrange pasta lengthwise in baking dish. Top with beef mixture and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm not sure if I have all of the ingredients. I'll have to check my pantry before I can make it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pastitsio didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked the pasta.

This pastitsio was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less butter and cheese next time.

I've made pastitsio many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The béchamel sauce was smooth and creamy, and the pasta and meat were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be using this recipe again and again.
