Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground lamb in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, drain and discard grease. Add onion and garlic to lamb, cook and stir until onion is translucent, 3 to 6 minutes.

  2. Stir tomato paste, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into lamb mixture, cook until spices are fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add water, lasagna noodles, and balsamic vinegar to lamb mixture, bring to a boil. Cover skillet, lower heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cover and simmer until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite and sauce is thickened, 5 to 7 more minutes.

  3. Stir Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon mint, and salt together in a bowl. Spoon yogurt mixture, about 2 tablespoons per addition, across top of lasagna mixture. Sprinkle feta cheese over top and garnish with chopped mint leaves.
