Greek Pasta With Lamb, Mint, and Feta

Sharing is caring!

Greek pasta with lamb, mint, and feta cheese is a hearty pasta dish everyone will love. The big, bold Greek flavors make this a unique and delicious dish.

I think lamb is my new favorite meat these days. 

I love it all different ways but last night I made a pasta sauce out of ground lamb that was quite tasty.  It reminded me of an Italian Bolognese sauce which is good because that’s what I was going after.
