Description
Another viral recipe from TikTok everybody makes – the Turkish Pasta from Anna Paul. Should you try too? Why not! It’s delicious! ;)
Ingredients
For the yogurt sauce:
10 oz. (300g) Greek yogurt
3–4 garlic cloves, grated
1 tbsp. lemon juice
salt, pepper
For the spiced beef:
17.6 oz. (500g) minced beef
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. paprika powder
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1 large red onion, diced
For the paprika butter:
2–3 tbsp. butter
1–2 tsp. paprika powder
For the toppings (optional):
some halved cherry tomatoes
some chopped flat-leaf parsley
some crumbled feta
17.6 oz (500g) pasta (e.g. Cochiglie Rigate*)
Instructions
1. Start with the pasta – cook it according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain when done and keep warm.
2. While the pasta is getting ready, you can prepare the other components of the dish. For the yogurt sauce, peel and grate the garlic and add it to the yogurt. Mix in lemon juice and season well with salt and pepper.
3. Add the ground beef to a cold frying pan without adding any oil. Heat up until the meat starts to brown. Add the onion powder, paprika powder, black pepper, salt, and ground cumin. Next, add the tomato paste and mix in. Let everything cook for a moment, then add the diced onion and continue cooking until the meat is nicely browned and crispy and the onion is soft – stir often so nothing burns.
4. For the paprika butter, add the butter and paprika powder to a small saucepan and heat up. Let everything cook/bubble for a moment – that’s it.
5. Add the cooked pasta to serving bowls, top with yogurt sauce, minced meat, and paprika butter. Decorate with cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and some crumbled feta and enjoy!
