12 oz. Wide Egg Noodles, uncooked
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 pounds well-trimmed boneless leg of lamb, cut into 1-inch pieces

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, combine flour, curry powder, salt, cayenne pepper and cinnamon in a plastic or paper bag. Add lamb; shake to coat.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add lamb, reserving any remaining flour mixture in bag. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until lamb is well-browned. Transfer lamb to plate or bowl; set aside.

Add garlic and reserved flour mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add broth and raisins; bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Stir in lamb; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until lamb is heated through and sauce thickens. Drain noodles; top with lamb mixture and sprinkle with mint or parsley.
