Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Cook the pasta in a pot of salted water according to the package instructions until tender. In the meantime, peel the onion and dice it into small pieces. Crush the garlic and cut the zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Heat a pan and fry the minced meat until crumbly (no oil is needed, as the minced meat is already fatty enough). Add the diced onion, mix it with the minced meat, and sauté until translucent. Add the crushed garlic and the zucchini to the pan and mix everything well. Then add the tomato and bell pepper paste and mix it with the minced meat. Season with cumin, pul biber, salt, pepper, and a little stock and garlic powder. Add a little water if necessary to make it easier to stir. Reduce the heat slightly. The mixture should only simmer until the zucchini has the desired firmness. When the pasta is done, drain the water. To serve, place the pasta on a plate, add some of the minced meat and top with some natural yogurt if desired.
