1 1/2 pounds boneless leg of lamb
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon finely minced lemon grass
7 or 8 tablespoons lime juice, about 3 limes
1/2 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc mam)
4 large cloves garlic
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups finely chopped red onion
4 large slightly ripe mangos, cubed
4 tablespoons finely chopped basil
4 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus cilantro for garnish

1
Remove all the fat from the lamb, and slice it into 1/8-inch-thick pieces.
2
Combine 2 teaspoons of lemon grass, 2 teaspoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce in a bowl large enough to hold the meat.
3
Mix the meat with the marinade, and set aside for 10 minutes.
4
Then, either grill the lamb on a stove-top grill or broil until it is browned on both sides but still pink inside, just a few minutes.
5
Heat a small saute pan; spray with nonstick spray, and saute the garlic for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
6
Spoon into a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients.
7
To the bowl add the remaining lemon grass, lime juice, fish sauce, hot pepper flakes, red onion, mango, basil and chopped cilantro, and stir well.
8
Dice meat finely, and add to bowl.
9
Stir well.

Stir in pasta, and mix thoroughly, using your hands if necessary.
