Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium eggplant (1 pound), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, preferably hot
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • 3/4 pound ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 8 ounces gemelli
  • 1/2 cup whole plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup chopped mint

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the eggplant, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the lamb and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat until the sauce is thickened, 12 minutes.
  2. Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente, 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Stir the pasta and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water into the sauce; add more water if a thinner sauce is desired. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the yogurt and mint. Season with salt and serve hot.
