Pasta with Lamb and Carrots is a hearty, comforting dish that combines tender pieces of lamb with sweet, caramelized carrots, all enveloped in a savory sauce. This Kosher American pasta dish offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

• Pasta - 200 grams (spaghetti or fettuccine)
• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Carrots - 2 medium, peeled and sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Chicken broth - 250 milliliters
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced carrots to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground lamb, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, combine the cooked pasta with the lamb and carrot mixture, stirring well to coat.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
