Patitsio Review

Tonight we tried something new....Patitsio. Patitsio is a Greek dish. It is a baked pasta dish with both red sauce and bechamel. Basically the bottom layer is a spiced tomato meat sauce and pasta. The top layer is a thick bechamel sauce with Parmesan added in it. All I can say is YUM!! I was a little worried because one of the spices in the meat sauce is cinnamon. A lot of cinnamon. I was sure it was going to be overpowering, but it really wasn't. There was a nice warm after tone to it, but it was perfect. This will definitely be added to our menus...though it may be added to the Winter ones as it has to cook for an hour in the oven.
