5:25 you want to cook the butter/flour mixture until it starts to smell like cookie dough or pie crust. If you don't, it will taste like flour.

[@PaddyStubbs70]

Christina, I'm a huge fan of Moussaka and Lasagne, so this recipe had my mouth watering almost before I started watching you preparing the dish.😁My problem is I'm trying to lose some Lockdown weight, so I'm going to have to do a lot more hiking to earn my Pastitsio...or maybe I need the Pastitsio to give me the energy for the hike, lol!👌👍😋

[@FreshPiato]

Hey Paddy, haha indeed you need to do a little hiking to earn your pastitsio! It's not for every day but once in a while it's worth spoiling ourselves over comforting food 😍

[@georgiritsinas9856]

Je vais faire cette recette seulement c'est dommage qu'il ne marque pas un liste avec les ingrédients pour nous faciliter le travail et je ne vois pas les températures de cuissons ce qui pose un problème pour une personne qui n'est pas un professionnel en cuisine comme moi .

[@nailascookingcorner]

1.8 litres of milk and a PINCH of salt??

[@FreshPiato]

I have updated the description of my recipe with the list of the ingredients. 1 pinch of salt is enough imho but salt is always a matter of personal taste, I hope you enjoyed watching, and may you have a great day!

[@leon06010]

Nice recipe overall, but you do make some mistakes. First of all you add the cinammon way too early in the sauce and the paste is too much. But the most serious of all is the amount of the flour. How much do you use? A cup or 200 grams? Because a cup of flour is 120 grams and so 200 grams of flour is a little less than two cups. But I love that you add fat to the pasta, as fatless pasta is bland. No matter how nice the sause is or what the Italians or the cooks say.

[@FreshPiato]

Thank you for taking the time to review my recipe, constructive criticism is always welcome

[@namesdemeanusboth9568]

You know when a moronically repetitive backing tune plays like this it’s torture right? Even at 2x playback speed. Would it kill you to give your presentation a voice over? And peppers? Seriously?

[@phillipsmom6252]

What’s up with the gloves? You afraid to touch food? 🤣🤣🤣
