This pasta dish is a little different than the average pasta dish. Lamb is simmered in a seasoned white potato sauce, then used to top linguine. Perfect with garlic bread.

- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook and stir the minced lamb, garlic and onion powder until the lamb is no longer pink, breaking the meat apart as it cooks.
- Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon and oregano; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid in the frying pan evaporates and the lamb and garlic are very well browned, about 20 minutes.
- Pour in the water and potatoes, bring the mixture to the boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the potatoes are very tender and beginning to break apart, about 20 minutes.
- Mash potatoes with a spoon against the side of the frying pan to help them thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer until the sauce is thickened and the flavours have blended, about 10 more minutes (1 hour total). Stir occasionally during cooking.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil; cook the linguine in the boiling water until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain. Transfer the cooked pasta to plates and top with lamb sauce.

A good way to use ground lamb but not flavorful. The cinnamon is a must it heightens the flavor of the lamb. Used a small onion and onion powder, 1 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, small can of tomato paste,1 tsp of course grond pepper, 1 1/2 tsp of sea salt. sprinkle with parmesan cheese when plating. Yummy my brother who hates lamb loved it. - 04 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
