Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (I use 90%) (or use turkey or chicken or lamb!)*
  • ½ medium white onion finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon mild curry powder
  • 1 pound pasta of choice (I like shellbows)
  • 2 cups whole-milk or 2% plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 garlic cloves grated
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • Fresh chopped parsley and dill

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and crumble in the ground beef. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and curry powder evenly while breaking the meat apart. Add diced onion and mix well. Cook the beef mixture, stirring now and then, until it browns nicely and fat renders, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cover.
  2. Meanwhile, boil salted water in a large pot and cook pasta until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and return pasta to the pot.
  3. In a bowl, stir Greek yogurt, grated garlic, and salt together. Adjust salt if needed.
  4. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk in paprika until smooth, and let it cook briefly for 20 to 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  5. To serve, place warm pasta in shallow bowls, spread garlic yogurt sauce on top, then add the warm beef mixture. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes, parsley, and dill. Drizzle with the paprika butter sauce before serving.

Notes

  • *Please note that if you are using something other than ground beef, I suggest adding 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan before cooking
