Pasta with Yogurt and Spiced Meat

How to prepare pasta with yogurt and spiced meat

1. Chop the onion and pepper into small cubes. Chop the herbs together. Set aside 2 teaspoons of herbs separately.
2. Put the pasta to boil. While it boils, prepare the meat.
3. In a larger pan, heat the oil and add the onion and pepper. Saute over low heat until they're very soft (at least 5 minutes).
4. Add the crushed garlic and saute for another minute.
5. Add the pepper paste and saute for 2 more minutes to caramelize slightly.
7. Add the ground spices and stir. Add a little salt as well.
8. Add the ground meat and with a spoon stir and press to break up the meat into pieces. After about 2 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of water (you can use pasta water) and the herbs, stir and cover. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
9. Drain the pasta and add it over the yogurt that's been well mixed with a little salt. Stir to coat evenly. Taste for salt.
10. Divide the pasta into 2 bowls. Sprinkle half of the spiced meat over the pasta in each bowl. Sprinkle the reserved herbs on top. Serve immediately, they're better warm.
