Venezuelan Pasticho

Today, I’d like to share my “Pasticho Venezolano” recipe.

What is Pasticho?

Pasticho is the Venezuelan version of Lasagna. It is very creamy since it has bechamel sauce. YUM. This is a very popular dish back home. Each family has its own recipe – which is guarded jealously. In my opinion, the secret of good or Pasticho is the meat sauce. Pasticho is a family favorite, hands down! I remember how preparing Pasticho was a lot of work. I looked at it almost like a marathon. So, I cooked it only on special occasions. Well, marathon NO MORE. Now, I always have frozen meat sauce in the freezer, and I also use pasta that requires no previous cooking. The bechamel sauce is made in 10 min, so if you plan in advance you can have a delicious Pasticho without all the work.
