Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta of choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef 85% lean
- 1 onion diced, small
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 garlic finely minced, cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Butter Sauce
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons paprika
To Garnish:
- ½ cup tomato chopped
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onions, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned, 8-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the yogurt sauce by whisking together the greek yogurt with the garlic and salt.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and paprika and heat in 2 30-second intervals until melted, set aside.
- To assemble, place the cooked pasta on a serving dish or individual plate. Add the yogurt sauce on top, followed by the cooked beef and the butter sauce. Garnish with tomatoes and parsley.

Notes
- Storage: Kept in an airtight container in the fridge, leftovers will last for up to 3 days. I like to reheat Turkish pasta in the microwave! You can start at a minute or so, adding 30-second increments as necessary.
