Greek Pasta Pie (Makaronopita)

This comfort food classic is the perfect way to make your winter days a little brighter. Makaronopita is a simple, delicious pasta pie that will leave you feeling satisfied.

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!
