"Most people are obsessed with this. I had people tell me that they've made this every single day for a week straight because they love it so much," Paul said in the video.

Anna Paul's Turkish Pasta Recipe

The first step is to cook some pasta (while Anna Paul's mum uses bow ties any will do) in a pot of boiling water.

While the pasta is on the boil, prepare the rest of the dish. Paul says cooking the whole meal "only takes as long as it takes the pasta to boil.

First cook the meat. Paul's mum uses lamb mince and cooks it on a pan. She emphasises that you don't need to use any oil in the pan as the natural oils in the meat is more than enough.

While it cooks, add a "tiny" amount of curry powder to the meat, Pauls says her mum has a "theory that it gets rid of that weird meat flavour".

After the curry powder add a decent helping of pepper, garlic powder, sweet paprika and salt. Paul doesn't specify exactly how much of each spice to use but relatively uses the same amount of each one.

Paul's mum then adds some diced brown onion to the pan before cooking the meat down until it is fully cooked.

Then comes what Paul calls the "most important part" – the garlicky yoghurt sauce. To make this Paul's mum simply combines Greek yoghurt with salt and about 3 cloves of minced garlic.

Next is the butter sauce which is simply made by melting butter in a sauce pan and stirring in sweet paprika until fully melted and combined.

Once all the elements are cooked, it's time to put the dish together.

On a plate – or bowl – serve up some pasta then add a layer of the garlicky yoghurt sauce and then a layer of the spiced meat on top. Drizzle the meat with the paprika garlic sauce.

To complete the dish garnish with some diced tomatoes and fresh parsley.

"Honestly if you love like a Mediterranean vibe, if you love like a kebab vibe, anything like that, that's what this tastes like," Paul said of the finished product.
