- ●1 tablespoon olive oil
- ●1 pound ground lamb
- ●1/2 teaspoon salt
- ●1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- ●1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- ●1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- ●1 pound fresh tomatoes
- ●1/2 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
- ●1 pound gluten-free penne pasta
- ●1/4 cup fresh parsley, mint, or basil
- ●to taste Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
- 2Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb, salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander (if using). Cook, breaking up the lamb with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.
- 3Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4Pour in the Cabernet Sauvignon and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
- 5While the sauce is simmering, add the gluten-free penne pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- 6Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the lamb ragu. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- 7Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, mint, or basil and grated Parmesan cheese (if using).
