Really good and DH loved it. I used lean ground beef to which I omitted the chili pepper and added some Recipe #79179 as well as a little chopped fresh parsley and mint near the end of cooking. Being lean it got a bit dry, would use some oil next time. To the yogurt mixture I also added a small bit of the chopped mint, fresh lemon juice and grated English cucumber. Though I could leave the cucumber out and it would be good too. I just put butter on the pasta, as I didn't have paprika or cayenne.

Hi,
I am German and I live with my husband Thorsten (Chef Thorsten)in the former German capital Bonn, a rather small town near Cologne at the river Rhine.
I work in a teashop (a TeaGschwendner franchise shop, see my web site link) situated in a quaint little old house in the center of Bonn and like it a lot. I enjoy to make myself comfortable with a cup of tea and a book (an old cookbook is good).
