Ingredients
Scale
350g or 12.4ozs your favourite dried pasta (I used 26 gnocco)
250g or 8.8ozs lean beef mince (you can use all regular beef mince)
250g or 8.8ozs regular beef mince
1.5 teaspoons curry powder
1 small onion diced
2 tablespoons paprika sweet
1 cup or 250g or 8.8ozs Greek yogurt
3 cloves garlic minced
3 to 4 large tomatoes
0.5 cup parsley chopped
60g or 2ozs butter melted
2 teaspoons paprika sweet
Salt and pepper to season
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 7 to 8 minutes until it is al dente. While the pasta cooks, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add both types of beef mince without any oil. Cook the beef, breaking it up into small pieces. Midway, sprinkle the curry powder over the beef and press it down with a spatula to crumble finely.
Once the beef is fully cooked, add the diced onion and sweet paprika to the pan. Stir and sauté until the onion becomes tender and translucent, using the fat released by the beef to cook without adding oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the minced garlic. In a small bowl, stir the melted butter together with the sweet paprika. Dice the tomatoes and roughly chop the parsley.
Drain the cooked pasta and combine it with the beef mixture in the pan. Top the pasta with diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, the garlic yogurt, and drizzle the paprika butter over everything to finish.
