A CSA and Mom Inspired Ground Lamb Pasta

My Mom makes a meat filled puff pastry that she calls "Meat Pie." It's filling consists of ground meat (your choice or combo of beef, lamb, pork) with red wine, tomato paste, cinnamon, parsley and parmesan. I love the deep flavor of this mixture and used it to make a pasta sauce from my CSA bounty.

1 lb fresh pasta
1/2 lb ground lamb
2 med leeks chopped
1 med carrot diced
2 tbs tomato paste
1 c red wine
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Handful of fresh parsley finely chopped
1/4-1/2 c Parmesan

Put salted pasta water on to boil.

Brown the lamb and pinch of salt and pepper and remove from pan. Sautéed the leeks and carrots in same pan until soft. (Throw in pasta to your boiling water.) Add lamb back with wine, tomato paste and cinnamon. Add more wine if it feels too dry. Cook down for about 5 min. Fold in parsley and parm and then fold in pasta with a bit of pasta water if needed.

Serve immediately in bowls with more parm and parsley if needed.

It was a hit across all ages in this house :).
