Just made this at home to tide us over until I make your pastitsio recipe. I tossed the spaghetti in cheese and sauce before putting some on top and then grating more cheese over it. So friggin delicious.

[@mfeist365]

There is something so comforting with a clove/cinnamon style red sauce. I have Greek pasta that is begging for this. Thanks for the inspiration Ken!

[@KensGreekTable]

A pleasure as always Michael…. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MegaYourkidding]

Thanks Ken I love cooking Greek food as I learned it from my Greek friends. I wish we had some of the things here like mizithra cheese or the phyllo dough but I make do. The Mexican friends love the different countries food I make. I personally love Greek. Thanks

Next time I make spaghetti sauce, I will try adding cinnamon! I usually use cumin. This looks delicious! 👍🏻

[@KensGreekTable]

Thanks very much Mike!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mariamenegas7203]

Loved the recipe. This is what you call "Mediterranean" diet. (Tomato for your fruit, beef for your protein, onions for veggies and olive oil for your fat). The pasta doesn't count! I make it as well but add cinnamon and bay leaf if I have it at the time. You mentioned the smuggling of cheese. A few years ago, returning to Montreal from Greece, they asked if I brought back any food items. I told them no because someone told me I couldn't. Well , to my surprise, they told me I could bring cheese. In fact they even told me it's mucher cheaper there lol!! Check with customs, maybe you can bring more and freeze it.( I don't know about soft cheese)

[@KensGreekTable]

Haha indeed you are correct Maria. As long as the cheese is commercially packaged... but why risk it??? 😂😂😂

[@pennyfraser4546]

Love that dish, I’m making it tomorrow 🇬🇷🇨🇦

[@pennyfraser4546]

Yia yia always would do the browned butter in the pasta too... omg so good

[@lauraalt7863]

Ken I'm Italian and I'm with you I like my pasta well cooked 😉

[@KensGreekTable]

😂😂😂👍👍👍💪💪💪

[@mzerv00]

I make my kima almost the same way. Along with the cloves, I’ll add a pinch of all spice, a couple bay leaves, and some thribi (from Kalimnos). 👍🏼

[@KensGreekTable]

Hey Mike, thanks for your comment and great info. Definitely sounds interesting.... 👍🙏🏼✌️💪🙌🇬🇷

[@mzerv00]

I’m headed to Yiayia’s tomorrow. Hahaha 🇬🇷🇺🇸

Hahaha. My Dad used to smuggle in Parmigiano & Gorgonzola when he returned from Italy. 😂👍

[@KensGreekTable]

Haha 😎😎😎

[@miriammanolov9135]

I knew the food was going to be good when you grabbed that meat with your hand 🤗 I like your simpler spice mixture. I usually use middle eastern 7-spice mixture and it can feel (heavy), but yours looks just Perfect 😍😍😍😍

[@KensGreekTable]

Haha thank you so much Miriam!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@KensGreekTable]

[@miriammanolov9135]

Ok.. so I just bought mizithra cheese from a Greek store near my city. It's a Huge ball! So what should I do with it? How do I use it, store it, save it, serve it? I'm keeping it in the fridge sealed until I find out the best way to use it. Thanks 😊

[@KensGreekTable]

Now that’s fantastic Miriam!!!! You can easily freeze mizithra cheese, so I would divide it into smaller pieces, wrap them in cling wrap and put them in your freezer. Keep the piece you want to use in your fridge. Again, wrapped in cling wrap or some kind of airtight container. That’s it... enjoy!!!! 😂👍✌️💪🙌

[@JimmyKouda]

Hi Ken! First off, thanks so much for this amazing recipe. I don't to Italian bolognaise sauce anymore as I much prefer this Greek version. One thing I struggle to get right is the salt and the pepper. Can you give me the amounts you've used in this recipe so that I can try that as a baseline? The salt and pepper are the only ingredients in the recipe that you haven't supplied amounts to, and I totally understand why. However, I'm an amateur cook and I've been getting it wrong. Thanks Ken!

[@KensGreekTable]

Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Salt is a very personal thing. I would keep it to about 1 to 1-1/2 tsps.

[@JimmyKouda]

@@KensGreekTable thanks Ken! And how about your pepper?

[@KensGreekTable]

Same thing. To taste….

[@iconsnicos]

Καλησπέρα!! For how long did you boil it and was it in low heat? was medium?

[@minotaur818]

Hey Ken, do you know of the origins/history of this sauce back in Greece? It's interesting how this is similar to "Greek Chili" that was used by Greek immigrants as toppings for chili dogs in the US and fat boy burgers in Canada.

[@vyvoomvoom9641]

Lmao..I smuggle it in! Channeling the inner Yiayia in ya are ya now? Lol 👏

Why do Greeks use cinnamon in pasta sauce . Not complaining it's amazing just wondering why ?

[@KensGreekTable]

We don’t ask, we just do.... 😂😂😂

[@scarecrow2097]

I mean...if you taste it you'll get why. There is nothing like minced meat with cinnamon

Cloves are a little black spice. It can be either ground or whole...

[@user-by7ee7bz1w]

I am a little bit afraid of the cinnamon...is the taste very dominant or don't you taste it out of the other ingredients?

[@KensGreekTable]

No need to worry, the cinnamon is not a dominant flavour. Just don’t add more than the recipe suggests LOL
