Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the lamb mince, turn up the heat and brown, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon.
- Once the lamb is browned, add the cinnamon, crumbled stock cube, tomatoes and oregano. Stir well and simmer for 15 mins, covered, then for 15 mins, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened and the tomatoes have cooked down.
- Meanwhile, cook the macaroni following pack instructions. Drain well. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Mix together the ricotta, most of the parmesan and the milk with plenty of seasoning, and stir into the macaroni. Tip the mince into a large baking dish, top with the macaroni mixture, and scatter over the remaining parmesan. Bake for 30 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve hot with garlic bread, if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°; bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil; add in macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes until al dente; drain and place in a large bowl.
- To blanch the spinach: bring 4 quarts salted water to a simmer over med-high heat; have ready a large bowl of ice water and a slotted spoon; add spinach to simmering water (in three or 4 batches) and submerge it.
- Let cook about 15 seconds, remove with the slotted spoon, and plunge into the ice water; let spinach cool completely, drain it, and squeeze out the excess water; if the leaves are large, chop them into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the feta cheese with the milk, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper (blend in two batches, if needed); this will not be completely smooth; there will be very small chunks of cheese remaining.
- Stir the cheese mixture into the cooked macaroni; then add the minced rosemary and thyme, garlic, red pepper flakes, olives, cherry tomatoes, and blanched spinach.
- Transfer mixture to a 13x9 inch baking dish; sprinkle with parmesan cheese and the mixed herbs.
- Bake on the middle shelf 25-30 minutes until the pasta is heated through and the top is slightly browned.

25 INCREDIBLE GREEK STREET FOOD DISHES – THE ULTIMATE GUIDE
From tripanthropologist.com
- Souvlaki. Souvlaki is the tastiest street food going! Souvlakia (the plural!) is Greece’s answer to fast food and they can be bought in so many places in every town.
- Gyros. Gyros (meaning turning) is probably the most widespread Greek street food. It originates from Turkish doner kebab. It first became popular in Athens and then quickly spread on the mainland and on the islands.
- Loukoumades. After a meal in Greece, Greeks often serve loukoumades or “greek doughnuts.” They make a wonderful after-dinner sweet treat and they’re simple to make.
- Dolmades. While the origin of dolmades is still debatable, with several middle eastern countries claiming their origin, it is also undeniable that dolmades have existed since the 17th century.
- Spanakopita. Spanikopita is a flaky pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese. The country has many types of pies or pitas that are very similar and have various fillings.
- Koulouri. A popular street food in Greece, Koulouri Thessaloniki is essentially a Greek bagel. A fluffy bread with a crispy crust, koulouri are covered in sesame seeds and are delicious by themselves or with a filling.
- Dakos. Dakos is a traditional Cretan meze dish consisting of dried bread or barley rusk with chopped tomatoes, crumbled Cretan soft cheese called mizithra, and garnished with spices such as dried oregano, fresh olive, and a splash of olive oil.
- Bougatsa. Crisp, warm pastry with a soft, creamy filling – Bougatsa is a textural sensation. One of Northern Greece’s favorite street foods, this snack is served either savory with meat or cheese, or sweet with a custard filling.
- Koupes. A popular Mediterranean dish, Koupes is synonymous with Greece and Cyprus. Koupes are bulgur and flour coverings that are stuffed with a variety of fillings (with meat being the more popular one) and then fried.
- Chestnuts. October = Chestnuts in Greece! Chestnuts are harvested from Castaneas trees and are then sold in markets or at street food carts in October.
