I've never eaten Greek Pastitsio | *MY FAVORITE NEW COMFORT FOOD ON THE PLANET* 🍝🇬🇷

I'm eating Greek #Pastitsio today thanks to Erin O'Donnell and her generous donation. This is #GreekIslandsChicago's version of the dish, with baked pasta, ground meat and cheese casserole topped with béchamel sauce. #GreekFood #SeansFirstTimeEating #BechamelSauce

What you’re tasting is nutmeg in the Bechamel .. super yummy

[@natesmith1293]

My uncle is greek and we used to go to his house for thanksgiving. Boy do I miss that! They would make a dish called Spetsofai. It's like a thick soup made with sausages and red peppers, in a tomato sauce with plenty of spices and red pepper flakes. It's so tasty!

[@erinodonnell6658]

I got to try Spetsofai in Santorini at our Airbnb. The host made it but instead of noodles they used Orzo rice. I was delicious but def spicy! Yikes! It was during Easter and they made homemade "Easter Bread", Tsoureki. 10/10 for "dipping" bread.

[@paulsmith8510]

Grew up with a bunch of greek yiayias in the neighborhood. I made them teach me how to make Pastitsio because I cannot live without it. It was popular at Thanksgiving and just the winter time in general.

[@derekboudreau2144]

Thanks!

[@brentgilliam1209]

"Move it or lose it sister!!!" LMAO, not gonna lie, I literally lost my sh#t on that insert. Absolutely a banger on this one!!! Also, "tag in," so good...

[@jenniferregan4428]

Yo ERIN! ROCK that play!

[@erinodonnell6658]

Thanks Jen! 💜 I think we should go on a two weeks "global tour" around Chicago for Sean. I will start thinking of a list. Anyone interested?

[@LarryGonzalez00]

I love Pastitsio. There used to be a Greek place nearby and anything with pasta, cheese and meat, I'm in. Of course I had to have some Baklava for dessert. It's so sweet to see you newlyweds tag teaming that dish.👩‍❤‍👨

[@erinodonnell6658]

Baklava is so good but sometimes too sweet for me. My go to dessert is Rizogala it is Greek rice pudding, very good. I agree these two are cute together for sure, let's not forget the fur baby too, Lionel.

[@LarryGonzalez00]

@@erinodonnell6658 Lionel the Wonderdog rocks. I'm voting for him in '24.

[@jaredford8440]

Seriously for a moment I could almost smell that 😋👌

[@kathleenosborne6931]

It is SO GOOD❤

[@erinodonnell6658]

Agreed! 😃

[@66meikou]

OMFG mate. You've never had Pastitsio? It's da bomb as they say over here. Smacks moussaka off the table mate.

[@erinodonnell6658]

Agreed! Not an eggplant person.

[@dantem5228]

Rippa video! "Tag in" Definitely would love to see much more food from this place! We use cinnamon, clove and nutmeg in our pastitsio and moussaka.

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

Who’s making me all Hungry? 😋🍽 Nicely, asked

[@helvetiqa]

If you happen to be up in the north burbs, hit up Psistaria or Plateia. Greek Islands is fine but those places are legit.

[@kathleenosborne6931]

I'm making some now😊

[@David-rh2on]

Just found your channel and love it, do you have one where you cook?

[@HeySeanEly]

I cook a lot on this channel! It's a combo of donations with recipes, takeout/delivery food and vlogs of my life. If you scroll through the videos tab, you'll see so much cooking. Enjoy!! So pumped you found me.

[@Talktothehand.253]

Traditional spices for pastitsio clove and nutmeg with a variety of cheeses. Kali Orexsi!!

[@MsDaalisa]

great content....what kind of cameras do you use?...great picture!

[@erinodonnell6658]

I'm glad you and Ali enjoyed the dish, was a little concerned it might be a tad off your traditional food radar. I am a big believer in being open and trying new things. BTW, you two are absolutely adorable together in this video. Still in the honeymoon stage I see. Cheers guys!

[@kevinpratt8476]

Nice job on the video

[@DysonTony]

The spice that you are tasting is Cinnamon in the red wine meat sauce.

[@ikec4021]

Wild never heard of that dish

[@btbesquire5]

Never tried this as well, and this looks right up my pasta lovin' alley

[@erinodonnell6658]

A must try IMO. If you like pasta dishes that are hearty and comfort food for a chilly day, this is it.

[@btbesquire5]

@@erinodonnell6658 HECK YES

[@vniemo2]

Moussaka is very similar but has eggplant instead of the pasta.

[@nickreilly1784]

I need to get you guys smaller cutting boards so we can complete the Russian nesting doll of cutting boards.

[@kathleenosborne6931]

Red pepper flakes js😂😊

[@SimonMetin]

3:12 - giggity..

[@kourtnybasinger1772]

👀 googling Greek restaurants near me….

[@danielledaniel1900]

I thought it was bake ziti

[@66meikou]

I think the taste you experiencing is cardamom and cinnamon.

[@erinodonnell6658]

Nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice

[@RavenVulcans]

Say Pastitsio 5 times fast!
