Turkish Pasta

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

454 grams ground beef (any ground meat)

1 teaspoon onion powder (to taste)

1 teaspoon paprika

salt (to taste)

1 pinch pepper

1 onion (finely diced)

1 ½ cups yogurt (plain)

1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika (or less)

350 grams pasta (any pasta you like)

cherry tomatoes (halved)

chopped parsley (to taste)

Directions

In a large pan, on medium-high heat, add in the ground meat without any oil. Break it up with a spoon and add in the salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Cook for a few minutes, add in the finely chopped onion and cook until the meat "pops" and has browned. Set aside

Yogurt Sauce

Now, mix the plain yogurt with garlic and salt. Taste and adjust the salt as needed. Set aside.

Butter Sauce

In a small pot on the stove, add the butter and melt. Add in the paprika and cook for about a minute. Take it off the heat and start on the pasta.

The Pasta

Cook the pasta on the stove as per the package instructions. I like to cook it in boiling salted water.

When the pasta has cooked, add it to a bowl with some of the garlic yogurt on top, followed by the ground meat.

Next add in halved cherry tomatoes and finely chopped parsley. To finish it off, we add a drizzle of the butter and paprika sauce. Enjoy!
