Pastitsada () is a Greek dish of meat braised in a spicy tomato-based sauce and served over pasta. Often associated with the island of Corfu, where it is a traditional Sunday dinner, it is sometimes called pastitsada Korfiatiki.

Pastitsada is based on veal, beef or poultry cooked in fresh or canned tomatoes, olive oil, minced onions, garlic, salt, black pepper, white wine, vinegar, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon, butter and served over pasta. It is usually topped with grated kefalotyri or Parmesan cheese. The dish shows Italian influence.

The name comes from the Venetian (standard Italian ) lit. 'something messed up', which is used for a large variety of Italian braised meat dishes, generally served with polenta, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
