Boil water with one teaspoon of oil, & ¼ teaspoon salt; then, add the pasta & boil it for 5 to 6 minutes. Strain it. Pour one cup of cold water over the pasta.

In a pan, fry the onions with the oil until they change color. Add the meat and stir until the water evaporates. Then add salt, black pepper, sumac and red pepper. Lastly, add the cinnamon and pine nuts.

Add 5 cups of water with 3 tablespoons of tomato paste. Let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes or until it has thickened. Once thickened, add the pasta & mix. Then, add the cubed tomatoes, green pepper & half of the cheese, making sure to mix well.

In a Pyrex, put the mixture and cover with the remaining cheese.
