About Pastichio

Pastichio, often referred to as Greek lasagna, is a traditional Greek dish made with layers of pasta, seasoned ground beef or lamb, and a creamy béchamel sauce. Typically spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and oregano, it boasts a comforting blend of savory and aromatic flavors. The pasta, usually a long tubular type, forms the base, while a rich meat mixture is sandwiched in between and topped with the velvety béchamel. It is then baked to golden perfection. While pastichio is protein-rich and provides carbohydrates for energy, it can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium due to the meat, cheese, and butter in the béchamel. Healthier versions may use whole-grain pasta, lean meat, or plant-based alternatives. Popular for family meals or celebrations, pastichio is a hearty dish that showcases the comforting joy of Mediterranean cuisine.
