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!
