Greek Pasta Pie (Makaronopita)

Greek Pasta Pie, known as Makaronopita, is the ultimate in comfort food. This is food for the soul (and the waistline!), which is sometimes exactly what I need during these dark and drizzly British winter days!

Combining the crisp shatter of filo pastry with the dense, rich cheesiness of the baked pasta beneath, this is a simple route to indulgence. Served up with a nice zingy side salad (I tend to dress some leaves with a nice lemony vinaigrette, combining olive oil, seasoning, fresh lemon juice, a little honey or maple syrup, a little mustard and some dried oregano or thyme), this is the perfect companion for a dreary winter’s lunch. Enjoy!
