About Pasticci

Pasticci is a baked dish with origins in Italian cuisine, particularly from the southern regions. It traditionally consists of layers of pasta or pastry filled with a rich combination of ingredients such as meat, cheese, eggs, and creamy béchamel or tomato-based sauces. Variations may include vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. While indulgent, pasticci can be a great source of protein and calcium due to the cheese and eggs, and fiber if made with whole-grain pasta or added vegetables. However, it is often high in saturated fats and calories, especially in recipes using heavy cream or processed meats. To make it healthier, consider lean protein options, reduced-fat cheese, and lighter sauces. This hearty dish is beloved for its comforting flavors and versatility, but moderation is key to enjoying it as part of a balanced diet.
