Prep

Step 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Step 2. Meanwhile, stir the Greek Yogurt and Garlic together in a bowl. Set aside while the pasta cooks.

Cook

Step 3. Heat the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes.
Step 4. Add the Ground Beef, Cumin, Black Pepper and the rest of the Salt. Break up the beef and cook until browned with no pink inside, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, add most of the Salt and the Pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 5. Meanwhile, melt the Butter in a small skillet over low heat. Stir in the Paprika and Aleppo Pepper until fragrant and sizzling, about 1 minute, then take off the heat.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Divide the pasta among bowls and spoon the garlic yogurt and beef over it. Drizzle with the paprika butter and scatter over the Fresh Parsley, if using.

Tips

Swap it

Use a small pinch of chili flakes instead of Aleppo pepper, adjusting to your heat preference.

Good to know

Cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F, and keep the paprika butter over low heat so the spices do not burn.

Leftovers

Refrigerate the pasta and beef for up to 3 days, keeping the yogurt separate; reheat the pasta and beef before adding it.
