Greek Style Pasta Bake

In our house lamb is something of a delicacy, its expensive
and sometimes hard to find. The favored way to prepare it is in a classic Irish
Sheppard’s pie.  I swear if Chuck could
eat Sheppard’s Pie every day of his life he would without question, but I on
the other hand get bored very quickly. So recently when lamb was on sale I thought
it was the perfect time to try out some new recipes.
This particular one I have made before with regular old
ground beef, and it has always been good, but the addition of the lamb takes it
to a whole new level. It is amazing! I love the way the cinnamon really
elevates the dish to something other than a humdrum tomato based sauce, as well
as showcasing the flavors of the lamb.
I think this same dish could also be stretched a bit with
addition of more vegetables, some carrots, celery, or zucchini would make a
great healthy addition that would stretch it out for closer to 10 people. This
is defiantly something that I would serve to a large party, its clean, a little different,
and delicious!
Greek Style Pasta Bake

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves of garlic, minced

½ lb lean ground beef

½ lb ground lamb

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp dried oregano

2 cans low sodium diced tomatoes

2-3 cups fresh baby spinach

1 lb whole wheat pasta cooked according to package
instructions

6 oz feta cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet heat oil and
sauté onion until it begins to soften 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an
additional minute. Stir in ground beef and lamb, breaking it up while it cooks.
Once the meat has browned discard extra grease and stir in cinnamon, oregano
and tomatoes Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Add spinach to the pan and gently stir until it has begun to wilt 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to a prepared baking dish and toss with pasta. Crumble or cube feta
over the top and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the feta begins to crisp on
top. (Serves 8)

    The road drops down to a narrow part between sea and rockface;
    this is where the penguins have their own chosen crossing to access their shelters and nests, so
    you have to take care to avoid any which might be waddling
    across. After about half an hour of easy walking look for the narrow entrance to
    the Moria Gate Arch, a limestone formation over the river.
    My final rating, because I believe the story only gets better as you play it, is
    an 8 out of 10. This game is wonderful and deserves a buy out of the gate.

    Mrs. Jones was positively delighted and she dressed up her daughter to the best of her ability, even applying the shade of lipstick to her and tying her hair in a ponytail so that her large expressive eyes

    it was studded with diamonds.
