Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ragu

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Brown the Lamb

    Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the crushed tomatoes, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Make the Turmeric Butter

    In a separate small pan, melt the butter. Stir in a pinch of turmeric and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Combine Pasta and Ragu

    Add the cooked fusilli to the ragu, mixing well to coat the pasta. Drizzle the turmeric butter over the top and stir to combine.
