Steps:
- For the meat sauce: In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the ground beef and sear without disturbing until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Break it up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper and cook until deeply browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the Aleppo and cinnamon and stir to combine. Tie the thyme sprigs together with butcher's twine and add to the meat sauce. Deglaze with the wine, reduce by half, then stir in the crushed tomatoes and 1 cup water. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes have begun to break down, about 30 minutes.
- For the béchamel sauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and allow to melt. Whisk in the flour and allow to toast for 1 minute. Add the nutmeg and about a quarter of the milk and whisk as the mixture cooks and bubbles. Add another quarter of the milk and cook, whisking. Once the milk is incorporated, add the rest of the milk and whisk again. This will ensure a smooth bechamel sauce. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture has thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the kefalotyri cheese until melted. Whisk in the eggs and set aside.
- For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Do not stir as you will disturb it. In order to have even layers, the pasta needs to be cooked undisturbed, with all the noodles facing the same way. Cook the pasta for 4 minutes less than the package instructions.
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- To assemble: Brush a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with olive oil and set aside. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the pot and line the pasta evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. All the noodles should be facing the same direction. Add the melted butter and kefalotyri cheese and season with black pepper. Remove the bundle of thyme from the meat sauce and pour the meat sauce on top of the pasta. Using a rubber spatula, spread into an even layer without pressing down. Pour the béchamel over the meat sauce. Place the casserole dish onto the offset heat part of the grill, close the grill and bake until the top is golden brown and puffy, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the grill and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into slices and serving.
- Oven method: Bake uncovered at 400 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes.
BEEF PASTITSIO
A Greek take on a meaty Italian lasagna, this baked pasta dinner balances warm, fragrant flavors like nutmeg and cinnamon with a creamy béchamel and cheese topping that bubbles and crisps in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomato paste, oregano, cinnamon, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add pureed tomatoes; bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just al-dente, about 2 minutes less than box instructions. Drain; set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden and beginning to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Gradually add milk, then cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; whisk in nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in egg yolk to combine.
- Arrange pasta in an even layer in bottom of dish. Spoon meat sauce over pasta. Spoon béchamel over meat sauce; sprinkle evenly with cheese. Bake until top is golden and set, and mixture is bubbling in the center, about 45 minutes. Let stand at least 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the ground beef, and cook until crumbly and no longer pink. Pour in the water and tomato paste. Season with salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon; cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, adjust salt to taste, then refrigerate until cold. Once cold, remove any congealed fat, and thoroughly mix with 2 beaten eggs, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain, and rinse under cold water to cool. Mix the macaroni in 2 beaten eggs until well coated.
- Evenly spread half of the macaroni mixture into a 11x14x2 inch baking pan, sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the grated parmesan cheese, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Spread the meat mixture overtop, then finish with the remaining macaroni. Sprinkle the macaroni with another 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of melted butter.
- Whisk together 4 beaten eggs with the half-and-half, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, flour, and salt; whisk until well blended. Pour the cream mixture evenly over top of the pastitsio, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
- Cover the pan with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake until the top has turned golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to stand for 15 minutes before serving.
