    Can substitute bucatini pasta or penne pasta for pastitsio pasta, and kefalotyri cheese or pecorino cheese for graviera cheese.

    This was fairly simple compared to other pastitsio recipes and very good. I would use a little less stock and cook the pasta less as it was very well done and I prefer a bit more al dente. I also subbed whole milk greek yogurt mixed with some heavy cream since I didn't have any creme fraiche and I thought it worked well.

    Oh boy, is this ever good! It is super easy, very rich comfort food. We love a good one-pot meal and this certainly did not disappoint.

    One-pan pastitsio (p. 124) from Greekish by Georgina Hayden. My husband said this was “like hamburger helper pastitsio, but in a good way.” I understood what he meant, like many short-cut dishes it lacks the complexity that comes with the traditional methods, but it was a perfectly satisfying easy dinner with some broccolini after a weekend of more elaborate meals. I added 1/2 pound pork and a healthy pinch of chile flakes to the base, used a full pound of pasta with an extra 1/2 cup of water, and half the cinnamon. I also added Urfa chile to the egg mixture, which I increased by half. Next time I’d double it for the same amount of pasta and ground meat, and the oregano accordingly.

    Different from my usual recipe, but oh so addictive. Very easy and truly a one-pot dish. It has the richness of my original without the fuss. I used the subs of bucatini and pecorino with no remorse. Husband liked enough to heat some up for breakfast the next morning.
