Brown Pasta Pasticcio is a comforting baked dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly Italian and Greek traditions. This hearty recipe features whole-grain brown pasta layered with lean ground meat, such as turkey or beef, and a rich tomato-based sauce seasoned with garlic, onions, and herbs like oregano and parsley. The dish is topped with a creamy béchamel sauce and lightly sprinkled with cheese before being baked to golden perfection. The use of whole-grain pasta provides added fiber, supporting digestive health and prolonged energy release. Lean protein enhances its nutritional profile, while the tomato sauce delivers antioxidants like lycopene. However, the béchamel topping and cheese can be high in saturated fat, so moderation is key for those watching fat intake. Brown Pasta Pasticcio is a delicious, balanced dish when paired with a fresh green salad for additional nutrients.
