Pastitsio (Greek: παστίτσιο) is a pasta bake made with minced beef and a béchamel sauce. This version is a very simple Cyprus one, known as makaronia tou fournou, often made by my mother (apart from the use of penne pasta). Every cook has their own way of making this dish.
Pastitsio is a dish usually found at every celebration or family gatherings.
