Pastitsio<\/h3>\n

This authentic Greek food, popular on Corfu and the Ionian islands, has a distinctly Italian flavour. This yummy dish is made up of layers of minced meat in a tomato sauce, separated by layers of creamy pasta in b\u00e9chamel sauce. Sound familiar? Pastitsio is often referred to as the \u2018Greek lasagne\u2019, but there are a few differences: the tomato sauce is spiced with clove and cinnamon, while the pasta used is more like a tube of macaroni than a flat sheet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
