MACARONI CASSEROLE (Pastitsio) Not a dish for the faint of heart! Pastitsio is rich and filling, the perfect food for a cold winter’s day, and the kind of dish made often for the Sunday family meal. Sauce: 1 1/2 sticks butter 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 6 cups hot milk 6 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Salt, white pepper, to taste Filling: 1/4 cup Krinos Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 yellow onions, peeled and minced 1 garlic clove, peeled and minced 1 cup chopped parsley 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg 2 cups chopped peeled plum tomatoes 1/2 cup dry red wine 1 1/2-2 pounds lean ground beef Salt, pepper, to taste Pasta: 1 1/2 pounds thick tube spaghetti or ziti 1 cup grated Krinos Kefalotiri cheese 4-6 tablespoons butter, melted Make the sauce: In a large saucepan, melt the butter. As soon as it begins to bubble, add the flour and stir vigorously for five minutes over medium heat, until the flour begins to turn golden. Gradually add hot milk, stirring all the while, until smooth. Beat the eggs separately until frothy. Slowly add two ladleful of the sauce to the eggs, beating all the while, and then return the contents of the bowl back to the saucepan. Cook sauce, stirring, over low heat until thick. Cover with a cloth and set aside. Make the filling: Heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until lightly browned. Add the meat and brown. Spoon off any fat and discard. Add herbs, tomatoes, and wine and let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Boil the pasta until it is al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. In a large bowl, combine the pasta with 1/2 cup grated cheese, the melted butter, 2 cups of the béchamel sauce and the meat filling. Toss well. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly oil a 10” x 15” x 3” baking pan. Spread the pasta evenly in the pan. Pour the béchamel evenly over the top and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake the pastitsio for at least 1 hour, or until the top is golden and puffed. Remove and cool for 20 minutes before serving. Yield: 8-10 servings .

It is something we all have in common. Every hu- man being must eat to live, though some live to eat! Municipal Code Corporation has more than its share of the latter type person. It has been said about the company, that MCC is not a place to lose weight. We seem to invent reasons to celebrate - holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, welcoming new employees, well-wishing departing employees, you name it and we'll celebrate it. Of course, being a place of employment, our cheer is lim- ited to food and slaps on the back. So, when we began planning the biggest celebration in our history - THE COMPANY TURN- ING 50 YEARS OLD - it was only natural to think of what dishes we had served.

Pastitsio | Cook's Illustrated
Pastitsio SERVES Serves 6 WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS In the best renditions of this Greek meat and macaroni casserole, the components—tubular pasta, ground meat and tomato sauce, and a plush blanket of bechamel—are impressively stratified. We started by treating ground beef with baking soda before cooking, which altered its chemistry and made it better able to hold on to moisture. We skipped the usual browning steps to avoid toughening the meat's exterior, which also saved time. Cinnamon, oregano, dried mint, and paprika made the flavor profile distinctly Greek. A minimal amount of red wine plus lots of tomato paste added brightness and savoriness. We further streamlined the method by parcooking the ziti (the closest substitute for authentic Greek “number 2” macaroni) in the hot béchamel; doing so hydrated the pasta just enough to ensure that it would be fully cooked after baking, and the pasta's starches helped thicken the béchamel. We then thickened the rest of the béchamel by whisking in cheese and an egg until it was spreadable. Sprinkling more cheese over the top encouraged the surface to brown. INGREDIENTS BEFORE YOU BEGIN * Don't use ground beef that's less than 93 Don't use ground beef that's less than 93 Meat Sauce * ¾ teaspoon table salt percent lean or the dish will be greasy. We like the richness of whole milk for this dish, but ¼ teaspoon baking you can substitute 2 percent low-fat milk, if soda desired. Do not use skim milk. Kasseri is a 1 tablespoon plus ½ semifirm sheep's-milk cheese from Greece.
