MY MUSIC ALBUM

This recipe is divided into 3 parts; the pasta, meat sauce, and bechamel sauce!

Pasta:
if you are making dinner for two then you will only need:
250g pastitsio pasta
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt

vegan meat sauce:
1/2 large onion
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp chopped thyme
11/2 packs of beyond meat minced meat
11/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup broth
2 heaping tbsp butter

Bechamel sauce:
1 cup butter
1 cup flour
31/2 cups milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt

How to make this incredible pastitsio dish!

For the pasta:
The first thing we are going to do is make the pasta! If you are making this dish for two people then you will only need 250 gr of pasta, however; if you are making it for more than two people I suggest you make all 500 gr of pasta. Simply place pasta into a large pot of boiling water with some salt and cook for 10-12 minutes. The ratio of water to pasta should be 1 ltr to 100g of pasta. Once cooked discard the water, place the pasta into a glass bowl and add in the cinnamon, salt and olive oil, and mix! set aside

For the meat sauce:
add a bit of olive oil to a nonstick frying pan. add in the chopped onion and let that cook for 5 minutes. Add in the vegan mea, the tomato sauce, garlic, cinnamon, salt, broth and butter. Let cook uncovered on medium heat for 10 minutes until the water evaporates. turn off heat and set aside. Now lets make the bechamel sauce!

For the bechamel:
Place the butter into a saucepan and let it melt. Once melted add the flour and mix continuously with a whisk for a couple minutes until well combined, then slowly add the milk 1 cup at a time but don't stop whisking! Add cinnamon and salt and turn off the heat. Now it's time to assemble our pastitsio.

get your deep dish baking tray out and add a spoon full of tomato sauce and olive oil to the bottom of the baking dish. Start with adding one layer of the noodles. Then the meat sauce, then the noodles again and then top off the noodles with the bechamel sauce. You can sprinkle the sauce with some vegan cheese and bake for 30 minutes at 360F.

Remove and let cool for 20 minutes!! Now you're ready to dig in!

Enjoy!

This looks delicious! The cinnamon throws me off a bit but the more I think about it the yummier it sounds. By the way, your video quality and editing is fantastic!

Thank you so much. I loved to eat that in my favorite greek restaurant many years ago, when I was still eating meat. I thought, as a vegan I would never have that delicious meal again. It's so great, that I found your recipe here. You really made my day. 🌺

I was looking for a way to make vegan pastitsio and, boom, here it is. Thank You.
Lasagna was always a favorite until I tried pastitsio some years ago. There is a restaurant in Cleveland that is known for their Barbecue (ribs, chicken, pork, etc). The owner is Greek and has a number of Greek dishes included on a side menu. I tried the pastitsio out of curiosity and loved it! I've never seen it on a menu anywhere else. I've really missed it since going plant based.

Thank you for sharing this vegan version. What is your opinion on using lentils instead of the faux "meat"? I much prefer to use whole food/plant based foods and I try very hard to steer clear of processed food. I"d like to try this but maybe use lentils or something else other than a faux meat. Do you think it would turn out alright?

So I tried out this recipe tonight. I was a little worried about including cinnamon, but I gave it a try. It was good. I think I just have to get used to the cinnamon taste, but it was interesting. I think next time I’ll add less cinnamon than the recipe calls for. I also made the entire bag of the noodles and I made it in two large pans so maybe the surface area was too large so it didn’t set together like yours did when you baked it in a smaller dish. So now I know for next time to actually use a smaller pan like you did and probably add less cinnamon. It was good, though! I will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!

P.S. This is the first recipe I’ve tried from your channel and I’m really looking forward to trying out others! 😋
