Instructions to make Pastitsio with vegetables by Argyro - Awesome:
- Sauté all the vegetables, finely chopped, in the olive oil until they are nicely tender.
- Boil the sauce for about 10 minutes with the oil, the salt, pepper and the clove of garlic that you add whole to simply let out its flavor.
- Remove the clove of garlic ten minutes later and add a little oregano.
- Spread plenty of sauce on the baking tray, then the pasta, unboiled, then the vegetables and finally the cheeses.
- Do this twice, to make two layers in the same order.
- Prepare the béchamel saucesauté the finely chopped leek in the butter or olive oil until tender.
- Then add the flour and mix constantly so that it cooks nicely.
- Remove the pot from heat and add the tepid water gradually mixing well so that the sauce thickens and doesn't get any lumps.
- When you have added all the milk boil it for a while to thicken but not too much, then add the kefalotyri and after you have stirred it for a while so that the cheese is incorporated, pour it over the last layer of the baking tray making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Bake at 200°C without the fan for about an hour, depending on your oven. I baked it for an hour and a quarter because I chopped my vegetables into slightly larger pieces. It is divine!
