NOTES : The ridges and interior tunnels of the pasta catch every morsel of this robust sauce made of ground lamb, herbs, and feta cheese.

For a more

unctuous sauce, add about ⅓ cup. freshly grated Parmesan cheese along with

the feta; combining them delivers a certain depth of flavor that rounds out

the taste of the lamb. Serve the pasta in wide shallow bowls, with toasts

made from slices of olive, rosemary, or multigrain bread.
