Turkish Pasta made viral by Anna Paul🎀 when she shared her Mama's recipe. Many people have said this is a deconstructed Turkish Manti (lamb dumplings). Using pasta instead of hand making dumplings is a creative shortcut & I'm here for any fusion so I had to try! Verdict: my kids & I loved it. Not only is the presentation beautiful, but it is equally as delicious. Will make again & I would love to try Turkish Manti in the future. This recipe inspired me to explore more cultures, one plate at a time✨ I measured with my heart, but here is how I made: •browned 1lb ground lamb with 1/4 cup white onions, curry powder, onion powder, salt, garlic, red pepper flakes & 1tbsp tomato paste •boiled pasta al dente & drained •garlic yogurt sauce- mixed greek yogurt with minced garlic, kosher salt & parsley •paprika butter- melted 1/2 stick of butter with paprika on low heat •assemble by layering with pasta, lamb, garlic yogurt sauce, paprika butter, sliced cherry tomatoes, pinch of salt, parsley, crumbled feta & more paprika butter #recipe #viral #pasta #turkishpasta
