Turkish Pasta with Ground Beef and Yogurt

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a large pan over medium heat, sauté the diced onion in olive oil until softened.

Add seasonings (paprika, salt, pepper) and stir to combine.

Add the ground beef to the pan. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute until well incorporated.

In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), grated garlic, and lemon juice until smooth.

To make the paprika butter, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the paprika and stir constantly for about one minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

To assemble, place a layer of cooked pasta in a bowl. Top with a generous dollop of the garlic yogurt sauce, followed by the ground beef mixture.

Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, and fresh parsley.

Finish by drizzling the warm paprika butter over the top and serve immediately.
