Ingredients:

Serving

1 large eggplant, about 1 lb, cut in 1/2 -inch cubes
5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large shallot, minced
1 lb ground lamb
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (preferably turkish or aleppo)
fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh mint (or more
1/2 lb bow tie pasta (or orecchiette)
2 -6 tbsp unsalted butter , to taste
2/3 cup plain greek yogurt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Bring a pot of water to boil for pasta.
Toss eggplant with 4 tablespoons oil and a large pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet, making sure there is room between pieces, and roast until crisp and brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat remaining tablespoon oil. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and the shallot and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add lamb, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper to taste. Sauté until lamb is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in mint or dill and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir eggplant into lamb. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter: the amount is to your taste. Let cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, remaining garlic and a pinch of salt.
Drain pasta and spread on a serving platter. Top with lamb-eggplant mixture, then with yogurt sauce. Pour melted butter over top. Sprinkle on additional red pepper and more mint or dill. Serve immediately.
