About Au Truffes

Au Truffes started out of my love of cooking. I started cooking at the age of 9; when I made my first cherry cobbler. I entered it in a local baking contest and won. I was hooked!

Today I adore cooking French and Middle Eastern cuisine. I want to share my love of cooking with those who either do not have the time or do not have the patience to learn how to cook.

Pastitio

 

I first tasted Pastitio in Saudi Arabia. My now X sister-in-law had her chef prepare it for dinner one night back in 1985. I have been making it every since.  

Pastitio is a layered pasta dish that resembles Lasagna in assembly and that it has a meat sauce and pasta,but that is where the resemblance ends. The main spice is nutmeg, which encompasses the Bechamel sauce, the meat sauce and the two layers of penne pasta.

I actually enjoy Pastitio more than I do lasagna. The spices in Pastitio are few but the amazing taste and textures are perfect.
