Mount Athos pastitsio with mushrooms


Ingredients:
500 gr spaghetti for pastitsio | Some cinnamon | 1 kilo mushrooms in slices | 1 cup of oil | 3 medium onions | 1 small glass of white wine | 300 gr tomato juice

For the Béchamel:
Some parsley | 7 cups of water or Soya milk | Some allspice | 1 ¾ cups of flour | Some black pepper | 1 cup of oil | 1 teaspoon of  salt

Instructions:
We prepare the sauce-boiling the onions that we have mashed in blender, with the tomato, the parsley and later adding the spices-until it gets thick. We sauté the mushrooms in a cup of oil and a glass of white wine until they dry. We mix the sauce with the mushrooms. We boil them together for 5 – 10 minutes and we sprinkle with some salt. To make the béchamel sauce, we boil the water or the vegetable milk with the oil and salt and then we add the flour which has been well dissolved in a little cold water. We spread half of the spaghetti over well oiled medium baking pan and then we lay the sauce. We spread the other half amount of the spaghetti over the sauce and lastly the béchamel on top, in a way that the entire surface is well covered. We bake to 180 degrees in preheat oven, until it is brown.
