Frugal Gourmet's Greek Lamb With Pasta image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 1 pot, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb fettuccine pasta (dry)
1/2 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb lamb, medium-rare, julienned
baby carrots, cooked (leftovers)
1 sprig fresh rosemary, stripped from twig & chopped
extra olive oil to add to cooked pasta
1 cup grated kefalotyri cheese (assume Parmesan) (optional)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
salt & pepper, to taste

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.
