Giouvetsi, yiouvetsi, or youvetsi ( Greek: γιουβέτσι, pronounced [ʝuˈvetsi], from Turkish güveç) is a Greek dish made with chicken, lamb or beef and pasta, either kritharaki ( orzo) or hilopites (small square noodles), and tomato sauce (usually spiced with allspice and sometimes cinnamon, cloves or bay leaves). [1] Other common ingredients include onions/ shallots, garlic, beef stock, and red wine. It is characteristically baked in a clay pot, a güveç, and served with grated cheese.
Paula Wolfert called it "one of the most famous of all Greek Island lamb dishes." [2]
