Ingredients

• Pasta (fusilli or penne) - 200 grams
• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Fresh corn kernels - 150 grams (or 1 cup canned)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Bell pepper (red or yellow) - 1, diced
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese (optional, kosher) - 30 grams, grated

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic and ground lamb to the skillet. Cook, breaking the lamb into smaller pieces with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
