lasagne that isn't!
Jun. 10th, 2011 06:52 pmRecipe #23 is pastitsio!
My recipe book says that "pastitsio is to the Greek kitchen as lasagne is to an Italian cucina". Which certainly looks reasonable so far - it's got pasta, meat sauce, and cheese sauce. It's just... different.
Instead of flat lasagne sheets, the pasta is... macaroni.
Instead of standard meat-onion-tomatoey stuff, the meat sauce has... wine and cinnamon.
Instead of regular old cheese sauce, it has... egg yolk.
(There's also egg in the meat sauce and in with the macaroni. Very eggy recipe.)
It's still in the oven, but based on the smell - and on the small amount of cheese sauce that I couldn't help tasting - it's going to be extremely yummy.
