Why You Will Like This Recipe

This is another viral pasta dish going crazy on Tiktok right now and its from Anna Paul. I like it better than the Baked Feta pasta. It has protein, fat, and fiber. You can also make this a low carb version by leaving out the pasta.

When it comes to comfort food, few dishes are as universally loved as a hearty pasta. It's filling, versatile, and can easily be adapted to suit a variety of tastes. Today, we're giving a traditional pasta dish a tangy twist by incorporating Greek yogurt and ground beef. This recipe is not only delicious but also nutritious, providing a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and good fats.

I tried to make it as close to her recipe as possible.

Greek yogurt is a fantastic addition to any dish. It's rich in protein, contains probiotics for gut health, and is lower in sugar than regular yogurt. When used in pasta, it adds a creamy texture and a tangy flavor that complements the savory ground beef perfectly. Plus, it’s a healthier alternative to heavy cream or cheese-based sauces.

Ingredients Needed

Here's what you'll need to whip up this delectable dish:

• 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 - note she eyeballs these next two ingredients when adding it to the ground beef.
• 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: Because garlic makes everything better.
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil: To sauté the onions and garlic.
• 2 roma tomatoes - diced
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
• 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon of paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish: Optional, but adds a fresh touch.

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder, and paprika .
4. In a bowl combine the greek yogurt and chopped garlic.
5. Melt the butter and paprika in microwave safe bowl or over the stove top in a medium sauce pan.
6. Serve and Garnish: Serve the pasta and top it with ground beef, greek yogurt, tomatoes, fresh parlsey, and drizzle it with butter.

Tips for Success

• Temperature Control: Be sure to let the skillet cool slightly before adding the Greek yogurt. This prevents the yogurt from curdling and keeps your sauce smooth and creamy.
• Flavor Enhancements: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of feta cheese before serving.
• Vegetable Add-Ins: Feel free to toss in some vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for added nutrition.
