Creating delicious Turkish Pasta is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

4. Brown the Meat: Add the ground lamb or beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Incorporate Tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

6. Season the Mixture: Add the paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to distribute the spices evenly throughout the meat and tomato mixture.

7. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss until the pasta is well coated with the sauce.

9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.

10. Serve: Transfer the Turkish Pasta to a serving dish. Serve hot with a generous dollop of yogurt on top.
