Pastitsio

For best results, place the sealed package in the refrigerator to thaw for about half a day before your meal or overnight. If your plans change, the chilled and sealed package will last up to 3 days in the fridge.

If you’re in a hurry, bathe the sealed package in warm water for a few minutes until partially thawed, then heat it for a little longer than usual.

Once defrosted, open and discard the packaging in the compost or organic bin.

Reheat the Pastitsio as follows:

• In the pan - stove on low-medium heat, covered, flip once
• On a sheet in the oven - about 20 minutes at 180°C 
• On a plate in the microwave - 800W for 5 minutes

If you need it faster, divide the Pastitsio into 3-4 pieces so that the heat can penetrate more easily.

Finishing tips

If you live by the motto “there’s always room for more cheese” (respect!), you can add even more grated Parmigiano to the lasagna. Otherwise, she’s perfect as it is.

Serving suggestions

Some baguette bread to mop up the sauce would be great, as well as a mixed salad or steamed veggies for a more complete meal.
