How to Make Pasticcio
- **Prepare the Sauce:** Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink (about 10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes and red wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in chopped parsley and anchovies (if using). Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Cook the Pasta:** Cook pasta according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Stir in heavy cream and set aside.
- **Make the Topping:** In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- **Assemble the Pasticcio:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush a large, shallow oven-safe dish with olive oil.
- Spoon half of the cooked pasta into the prepared dish. Top with half of the meat sauce.
- Repeat layers with remaining pasta and meat sauce.
- Spread the yogurt topping evenly over the top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- **Bake:** Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
