Default Re: Pastitsio

KW I admire your drive to the other states to procure the proper pasta!

I also agree that other pasta's can be used, I find that the ones with wells ( ziti, buccanti, shells , and cork screw ) make this recipe it's best.

They seem to hold the sauces better then the plain pasta's.
