MAde pasticcio for the first time in a while [View all]

One problem I have is the amount for 3 people. And I have limited freezer space.

This version called for separating two eggs. The yolks go into thre bechamel topping. The whites get added to the cooked noodles along with some crumbled feta. The idea is that the whites will help hold the noodle together when baked. Te recipe also calls for you to try to line up the noodles as much as posible.
I think it did help a bit when serving to have the noodles lined up and the feta added to the flavor.
