  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced lamb and season with salt and cumin. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped kale and julienned carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and the carrots are slightly tender.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with the orange zest and juice. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through for about 2-3 minutes.

Notes

For a different flavor profile, consider substituting the lamb with beef or turkey.
Spinach or Swiss chard can also replace kale, while any favorite pasta shape works well here.
If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, just reheat gently over low heat to retain tenderness.
Enjoy exploring the flavors, and don’t hesitate to make it your own!
