Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive oil or butter
- 500 g Lamb mince
- 1 Chopped onion
- 2 Large cloves of minced garlic
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Red chilli flakes
- 1/2 tsp Pepper powder
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Oregano
- Salt to taste
- 250 g Pasta
Instructions
- Preparing the ingredients: Start by fine chopping the onion and the garlic. Keep it aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Make sure to save some pasta water for the sauce.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter. Add the minced lamb and cook, breaking it with a spatula until its browned all over. This should take about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Add fine chopped onion and garlic and cook until the onions soften. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the spices( paprika, salt, red chilli flakes, pepper powder, cumin powder and oregano) and cook for 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavours.
- Add tomato puree and pasta water. Reduce the flame and let it simmer for 20 minutes, so the sauce thickens and all the flavours are melded into the sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta, mix well so that the pasta is coated well with the sauce. Optionally add some cheddar cheese and cook for a couple a minutes so the pasta absorbs some of the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the pasta hot and enjoy!
