Here’s how you can make this recipe at home:

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground beef: Choose lean ground beef for lower fat content. Or you can use ground lamb.
8 ounces of pasta: Any type will do, but whole-grain or chickpea pasta can add more fiber and nutrients.
Onion Powder and Paprika
1 cup of Greek yogurt: Plain, full-fat Greek yogurt works best for creaminess.
1 onion, diced: For added flavor and texture.
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 roma tomatoes – diced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
4 tablespoons of butter, melted
