Christina, I'm a huge fan of Moussaka and Lasagne, so this recipe had my mouth watering almost before I started watching you preparing the dish.😁My problem is I'm trying to lose some Lockdown weight, so I'm going to have to do a lot more hiking to earn my Pastitsio…or maybe I need the Pastitsio to give me the energy for the hike, lol!👌👍😋

You know when a moronically repetitive backing tune plays like this it’s torture right? Even at 2x playback speed. Would it kill you to give your presentation a voice over? And peppers? Seriously?
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe….stay connected😋😋😍
Wow! Looks so delicious!
Je vais faire cette recette seulement c'est dommage qu'il ne marque pas un liste avec les ingrédients pour nous faciliter le travail et je ne vois pas les températures de cuissons ce qui pose un problème pour une personne qui n'est pas un professionnel en cuisine comme moi .
Nice recipe overall, but you do make some mistakes. First of all you add the cinammon way too early in the sauce and the paste is too much. But the most serious of all is the amount of the flour. How much do you use? A cup or 200 grams? Because a cup of flour is 120 grams and so 200 grams of flour is a little less than two cups.
But I love that you add fat to the pasta, as fatless pasta is bland. No matter how nice the sause is or what the Italians or the cooks say.
What’s up with the gloves? You afraid to touch food? 🤣🤣🤣
Great recipe christina but you should fry the pepper's first to make them moist and saute.
ωραια προοπτικη , κιμας και πολυχρωμες πιπεριές, αγαπημένες, στα μεξικάνικα γεύματα.
1.8 litres of milk and a PINCH of salt??
5:25 you want to cook the butter/flour mixture until it starts to smell like cookie dough or pie crust. If you don't, it will taste like flour.
Beautiful and well presented
