Smells Like Jesus Curried Beef Pasta Shells

• 20 pasta shells.
• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• 3-4 tbsp Patak's madras paste
• 1 tbsp tumeric
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4-5 tbsp mayo
• 1- 1 1/2 cup milk
• 1-2 tbsp flour

1. Shells:
2. Bring the water to a boil, add a wee bit of oil, and a pinch of salt. Add shells, and let boil until soft. (I cover and reduce the heat to medium-low while I prepare the rest of the meal)
3. Filling:
4. Heat olive oil in frying pan at medium-high (not too high, esp if it's teflon). Add diced onion and fry for 5-10 minutes. Add diced tomato and continue to fry for another 1-3 minutes. Transfer veggies to a medium bowl.
5. Add hamburger to frying pan, and fry until cooked, keeping it from clumping. Drain fat and add fried onion and tomato, 1-2 tbsps madras paste, tumeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, a pinch of salt.
6. Sauce:
7. Like making cheese sauce, using curry paste instead of cheese: In a small pot, combine mayo and 2-3 tbsps curry paste over medium heat using a fork or a whisk. Add the milk and continue stirring. Gradually add flour while stirring with whisk; whisk until smooth. For a thicker sauce add more flour. Do not let the sauce come to a full boil. Pour sauce into gravy boat or serving dish, and let cool. Stir sauce if a skim forms.
