  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • 1/3 cup packed finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/3 cup packed finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

    Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add macaroni, and cook until tender according to package instructions. Drain in a colander, and set aside.

    Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion; cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until meat is no longer pink and onion is soft and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
