David found this easy greek pasticcio recipe on the Delicious magazine website when looking for something different to do with a pack of lamb mince.   We love pasta, lamb and feta cheese, so having them combined in one dish appealed!

The sun-kissed flavours of Greece are brought to your table with this easy pasticcio recipe.   Macaroni pasta is layered with a mediterranean tomato and lamb mince base and topped with creamy feta cheese.

This full of flavour pasta, lamb and creamy feta dish can be enjoyed at any time of the year...we're looking forward to eating it outside in the garden on a sunny day with a glass of wine, or 2!

Tips

  • Mediterranean seasoning is a blend of dried peppers, herbs and spices – try Bart Blends from larger supermarkets, Ocado or Amazon.
  • This easy greek pasticcio recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for more or less people.
