Lamb Noodles
The following recipe, video and photography were provided by our partner, Chef Billy Parisi.
Lamb may seem intimidating to cook compared to everyday proteins like chicken and beef, but cooking ground lamb is as easy as browning it in a pan, which is exactly what happens when preparing these decadent Lamb Noodles!
Savory and juicy, this lamb meat is best paired with sherry and a thick noodle, like pappardelle. Complete this meaty pasta creation with bright red, smoky Fresno peppers and you’ll find yourself cooking with lamb every week!
