Salt and pepper

Cook the 8 ounces pasta of choice according to package directions.

In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the 1 pound lean ground beef until almost cooked through. about 2-3 minutes. The beef should release its natural oils, and no need to add oil.

Add in the diced 2 medium yellow onions, Salt and Pepper to taste, 2 teaspoons sweet paprika powder, 2 tablespoons onion powder, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste.

Mix and sear everything until the onions are translucent and cooked through. About 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

To make the butter sauce, melt the 1/4 cup unsalted butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon mild pepper paste, 1 teaspoon dried mint, 1 tablespoon sweet paprika, and 1 teaspoon Turkish chili flakes. Mix with a spatula to combine. About 1 minute. Set aside.

Next, Make the garlic yogurt sauce. In a bowl add the 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2-3 small garlic cloves (minced), Salt and pepper, and a bit of water (about 2-3 tablespoons) to thin it down if it is too thick. Mix well to combine.

To assemble, place cooked pasta on a deep dish or plate. Then add 1/4 th of the yogurt sauce, top with seasoned beef, drizzle some of the seasoned butter sauce, and garnish with chopped 1/4 cup minced parsley and 1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes (chopped). Enjoy.

Made this without the mint because I didn't have any on hand. It still turned out great! It came together fairly quickly which I appreciated, especially during a busy work week.

I followed this recipe exactly, except no mint or pepper paste. I also diced a bell pepper and tossed in with the onion. I used a high-protein pasta. This is delicious. The garlic yogurt sauce is amazing for how simple it is. I used two giant cloves so it has some kick. My coworkers will not be happy with me tomorrow but who cares. 10/10

This is our second time trying this recipe and this was a 10/10. I loved this recipe! It was creamy and delicious.
