Pastitsio
The traditional version of this Greek dish can be time-consuming to cook, with layers of ground meat and béchamel sauce. Our version is made up of just two layers; meaty sauce and pasta on the bottom, white sauce and pasta on top. This is a lot easier than the traditional method but still retains the delicious, authentic flavours! Serve with mixed salad if you don't mind the extra 15 calories per portion.
