Time 18m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti or penne pasta
2 tablespoons corn oil
8 ounces ground beef or ground lean lamb
⅔ cup pine nuts or slivered almonds
salt and pepper to taste
1 clove garlic
1 (16 ounce) container plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the corn oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the beef and cook until well browned, stirring frequently to break apart, about 7 minutes. Add the pine nuts, and cook for another minute until dark brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat, and drain off excess fat.
  • In a large bowl, crush the garlic into a smooth paste. Whisk the yogurt with the garlic until creamy and smooth. Once the pasta has been cooked and drained, place into a serving dish, and pour the yogurt over it. Top with the cooked meat and nuts while it is still hot.

The pasta was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the pasta for a shorter amount of time.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would prefer it with a different type of sauce.

This pasta dish was a hit! The combination of yogurt, pine nuts, and spices created a flavorful and creamy sauce that coated the pasta perfectly. I added some grilled chicken and vegetables to make it a complete meal. Definitely a keeper!
