Best Frugal Gourmets Greek Lamb With Pasta Recipes
FRUGAL GOURMET'S GREEK LAMB WITH PASTA
Smith note: This is a tasty way to use up leftover lamb, providing you haven't over-cooked the lamb in the first place. MY NOTE: Oh yum! I'm a believer in using up every square inch of meat -- especially stuff as expensive as lamb. AND since this year was my first foray into making, serving and EATING lamb, I wanted to get my money's-worth out of the roast! I didn't make it EXACTLY as Smith directed, but we loved it just fine the way I prepped it. Cooking time includes overlapping the pasta cooking with the meat prep/stir-fry.

Steps:
- Bring pot of water to boil for pasta; cook pasta til soft.
- Once the pasta is close to "al dente" - then heat a frying pan and saute the garlic in the oil.
- As the pasta is finishing, add the cooked lamb to the hot garlic oil, saute for just a moment. I also added the leftover baby carrots (matchsticks) at this point.
- Toss in the rosemary needles.
- Drain the pasta, add a few shakes of olive oil.
- Toss the pasta and meat mixture. Add cheese (if using, we chose to leave it out!) and parsley.
- Serve immediately! And enjoy!
- This would also work with beef, pork or chicken.

Steps:
- Place the beans and cold water in a 6-quart pot and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and turn off the heat (leave the pot covered on the very burner you used). Allow to stand 1 hour. Drain the beans and return to the pot. Add the wine and the Beef and Chicken stock, and bring to a boil, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Strain out half the beans and puree. Return the pureed beans to the pot. Add the garlic, tomato paste, parsley, and the raw tubetti pasta and simmer gently, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pasta is very tender and the soup is thick. Stir the soup regularly to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Stir in the 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley, a drizzle of extra virgin oil, and grated Parmesan cheese.
