Did you know that variations of this dish can also be found in other countries along the Mediterranean Sea?

The word "pasticcio" has been around since the 16th century, originally referring to any type of pie or pastry.
It comes from the Latin word "pastīcium," which means "paste,"

The most popular contemporary version of Pastitsio was invented by Nikolaos Tselementes, who is considered the "father" of modern Greek gastronomy.
He added a twist to the traditional Greek dish by incorporating a layer of bucatini or other tubular pasta at the bottom,
followed by a layer of ground beef with tomato sauce, cinnamon, and cloves, and finally, a top layer of deliciously creamy béchamel sauce spiced with nutmeg.

Bucatini pasta may not be readily available at your local grocery store, but you can still enjoy this mouth-watering dish by using penne rigate instead.

Pastitsio is a very common dish in Greece and is often served as a main course accompanied by a fresh salad.
Whether you're a lover of Mediterranean cuisine or just a pasta enthusiast, Pastitsio is sure to satisfy your taste buds!
