Afghan Pasta - Traditional Afghan Connecticut Flavors - Weeknight Meal

This Afghan pasta dish is super easy. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

Vegetable Oil
1 onion chopped
2 lb ground beef or lamb
1 package of pasta
3 cloves of garlic chopped
1 garlic clove (to be grated)
1 Teaspoon Cumin
1 Teaspoon Coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
Black pepper to taste.
3 large tomatoes.
1/2 can of tomato sauce.
1/4 cup of vegetable broth
1 1/4 cups non-greek yogurt
Chopped chives, parsley, small hot peppers

Steps:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet.

2. Add one chopped onion. Cook until tender and slightly turned color, but not brown.

3. Add three cloves of garlic and one teaspoon of salt to the onions.

4. Add cumin, coriander, and turmeric.

5. Add your ground beef or lamb, and cook until browned. Add cracked black pepper to taste.

6. Add three chopped large tomatoes into the meat.

7. Add one-half can of tomato sauce and vegetable broth.

8. Now, while that simmers, cook your bag of pasta according to the directions on the package.

9. Now, we will make the yogurt sauce. Mix yogurt, labneh, salt, lemon juice, and 1 grated garlic clove.

10. In a new pan, heat some more cooking oil. I fry small chili peppers, parsley, and chives and fry up. The topping stays beautiful green. Fry up for about 30 seconds. Optionally, you can top the dish with fried onions at the end.

11. Now, strain your pasta and then begin to assemble. Start with a layer of yogurt, then meat sauce, then pasta, then meat sauce, then yogurt, then fried greens, and optionally add your packaged fried onions.
