Serves 10 

Ingredients Prepared:

     2 tablespoons olive oil
     4 pounds ground lamb
     1 whole head garlic, peeled and crushed
     1 tablespoon onion powder
     3 tablespoons lemon juice
     1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
     1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
     1 1/2 cups water
     4 small potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
     salt and pepper to taste
     1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

How to Cook:

Cooking Linguine Pasta

Boil a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil, stir in linguine in the boiling water until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

Cooking Ground Lamb

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and cook and stir the ground lamb, garlic, and onion powder until the lamb is no longer pink, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, and oregano, continue to cook about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid in the skillet evaporates and the lamb and garlic are very well browned.

Mix Potatoes to Making Lamb gravy

Then pour in the water and potatoes, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the potatoes are very tender and beginning to break apart, about 20 minutes. Mash potatoes with a spoon against the side of the skillet to help them thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer until the gravy is thickened and the flavors have blended, about 10 more minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking.

Serves

Move cooked pasta to the serving dish and top with lamb gravy.
