Pastiçe is an oven-baked casserole consisting of pasta (usually spaghetti), feta cheese, milk, egg, oil, salt, and pepper. The pasta is partially cooked, then mixed inside a casserole with the rest of the ingredients until well coated. For a richer result, the top can be dotted with dabs of butter and sprinkled with cheese.

Once baked, the casserole should be served right away. Pastiçe is not a dish with a long tradition or history, but one can find it prepared in almost all Albanian homes.
