Made this recipe several times. Great to share with friends and family for a small group meal. Takes about 3 hours in the kitchen, so good for a stay-at-home day. Pairs well with Shiraz. Easy to make, but takes some time and patience. Best pastitsio recipe I have found to date. Be sure to sip some red wine while preparing this.

loved,loved loved it!!!!!! second time daughter forgot to add the eggs so the sauce mixed in a bit to the meat layer. don't know which way I prefer. I have even tried it with ground turkey for my kids that don't like the thought of eating lamb. different but very tasty. I do prefer it with lamb and beef.

Just made this and ate it tonight. I compared many recipes and this is by far the best. It does take a lot of work and pots and pans. But this dish is better than at a restaurant. I added some shredded whole milk mozzarella at the end for a creamy cheesy delight. Love you Ina!

this is simply divine....typically an Ina Garten masterpiece. Ideal for dinner party or family get together! I live in rural Scotland and got minced lamb 'nae bother' in my village...tho a lot more expensive than the supermarket! Have made it with both local butcher's and supermarket's minced lamb and didn't notice any difference in taste, it was still delish! I love the woman and have tried many many of her recipes from her tv programmes, she is such an inspiration. Wouldn't dream of changing a thing in the recipe, why mend something that isn't broken?

I'm from Cape Town and watched Ina make this - it looks absolutely delicious and I'm going to try it when I have the girls around. It makes 8 so suits me fine. Shall come back with my report. :

Rich and delicious! I didn't make her lamb sauce, though. I already had some meat sauce in the freezer so I used that. Everyone had seconds and thirds.

This is actually the first recipe off Food Network that piqued my interest enough to make it myself. I followed Ina's recipe exactly. I had to go to an actual butcher's shop, as none of the chain grocers in my area carried ground lamb.
Overall it was very good. I do think the cinnamon was a little much. Perhaps I'm just not accustomed to cinnamon in my savory dishes quite yet. Despite being slightly bothered by the cinnamon, I can't seem to stop eating it!!!! Thirds, anyone?

this is very delicious. it is a very rich dish so some might want to split the recipe in half because i had a ton left over.
