Elk & Mushroom Ragu with Pappardelle
Ground elk and earthy cremini mushrooms simmered in a rich tomato sauce, served over silky pappardelle ribbons for a comforting, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz ground elk
2 oz pappardelle pasta
1 cup cremini mushrooms
0.25 cup yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
0.5 cup tomato puree
0.25 cup beef bone broth
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and diced yellow onion to the skillet, sautéing until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are translucent.
Add the ground elk to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon and browning it thoroughly until no pink remains.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, cooking for one minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and beef bone broth, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Drain the pasta, reserving a small amount of pasta water if needed, and toss the noodles directly into the ragu skillet.
Garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
