Ingredients

The Meat

  • 454 grams ground beef (any ground meat)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 onion, finely diced

Yogurt Sauce

  • 1.5 cups plain yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon sweet paprika, or less

Additional Ingredients

  • 350 grams pasta (any pasta you like)
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Chopped parsley, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with finely diced onion, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until the meat is fully browned and the onions are softened.
  2. Make the Yogurt Sauce: In a bowl, combine plain yogurt with minced garlic and salt; mix well and set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.
  4. Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat and add sweet paprika, stirring gently until combined and fragrant.
  5. Combine Components: Mix the cooked pasta with half of the butter sauce and folded in the cooked meat. Add halved cherry tomatoes and chopped parsley to the pasta mixture for freshness and color.
  6. Fry the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, fry eggs sunny side up in the remaining butter sauce until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Plate the pasta and meat mixture, top with the fried eggs, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground lamb or turkey as preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of paprika in the butter sauce to suit your spice tolerance.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based crumbles.
  • Use Greek yogurt for a thicker, creamier sauce.
  • Ensure eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.
