I love all things pasta. I could probably eat it every day and never get tired of it! But I rarely make cheesy pastas because cheesy pasta is just code for fatty pasta (as is creamy, or alfredo!). So this recipe for lighter cheesy pastitsio instantly piqued my interested. I had never heard of pastitsio, but it had cheese and pasta so I thought I would give it a try.
This recipe was already made-over for me so I can't take credit for that. Basically this dish is just made with skim milk and reduced fat cream cheese and mozzarella. I did make a few changes to increase the flavor. I added some pepper because I need a little spice in my life. I used Italian-style diced tomatoes as an easy way to up the flavor, and I topped it off with a sprinkling of Italian seasonings. The sauce was pleasantly creamy and delicious. I certainly didn't miss the extra fat!
