“Strozzapreti has a ridge along its length, which helps pick up more of the sauce,” says Michael Mina of this pasta, which he serves with a spiced lamb ragù. Slideshow: More Meaty Pasta Recipes
This recipe has sublime flavor. I am very particular about pasta and only have a few favorite pasta recipes, but this one is going straight to the list. I didn’t have cumin and fennel seeds, so I just used some ground cumin and fennel in the olive oil along with hot pepper flakes before I put the ground lamb in to cook. The meat absorbed all the spices and the sauce was outstanding. The fresh tomatoes, scallions, and mint add a whole other dimension to the already complex flavor. Also, I did not cook the sauce as long as the recipe recommends. I cooked it for a total of 50 minutes and it was perfect. Truly delicious pasta! ❤️
