Cooking Instructions:
  • BEFORE COOKING:

    Preheat oven to 210℃ (fan bake).

  • 1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:

    Trim the ends off the green beans and cut in half. Cut the courgette into 1 cm cubes. Roughly chop the Italian parsley leaves, discard the stalks and set aside. Spray a small baking dish with oil. Place the steamed potatoes in a single layer on the base of the dish, season with salt and bake in the oven for 15 mins.

  • 2. TO PREPARE THE PASTITSIO BASE:

    Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the premium beef mince, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 mins breaking up any large pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the courgette to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 mins. Pour in the tomato and oregano sauce and cook for 30-60 secs.

  • 3. TO FINISH THE PASTITSIO:

    Remove the baking dish from the oven and top with the pastitsio base mixture. Stir the bechamel sauce with a spoon then dollop over the top of the pastitsio base. Sprinkle over the cheesy crumb and bake in the oven for 10-12 mins or until crumb is golden.

  • 4. TO PREPARE THE BEANS:

    Wipe out the frying pan, spray with oil and place back over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beans and cook for 2-3 mins. Add the toasted hazelnuts and cook for 30-60 secs. Remove from the pan into a salad bowl, season with salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil.
