Game Meat Spaghetti

One of the things I dearly miss since being on a healthier diet is my mama's spaghetti. Yeah I'm a Jew, yet I miss an Italian dish. My mama's spaghetti is by far the best spaghetti on the planet. It is so fucking delicious, it is orgasmic.

Well the moment I turned Paleo-esque I asked my mama for her recipe and she gave me the rundown. Super simple, I doctored it, made it way more fibrous. Swapped out some ingredients. Instead of canned tomato paste that contains citric acid and comes in a BPA-laden can, I use Bionaturae tomato paste that comes in a glass jar, the only ingredient tomatoes. Instead of using beef, I use bison, elk, ostrich, venison goat, or pasture-raised veal. Any ruminant meat will do. I would never use turkey or poultry of any kind. Of course grass-fed beef is great too.

I batch cook veggies for the week, so of course I include some of these as well. This recipe makes one small serving

Game Meat Spaghetti

-1.5oz pastured game ruminant meat of your choice

-60g cooked finely chopped veggies (I use bell peppers, rapini a.k.a. broccoli rabe, broccoli, zucchini, red onion, whole garlic cloves, portabella mushrooms, celery, artichoke hearts)

-35g tomato paste ( a big tablespoon)

-fresh basil

-garlic powder

-water as needed

Basically I stick all the ingredients in a small pot, turn onto low heat, add enough water to make it just the right consistency and stir until soft, but not so brown that the meat is over- cooked.

I serve this over shirataki yam noodles and eat it with my own butternut squash muffin, a package of roasted Nori seaweed, additional veggies (like curry roasted cauliflower), and perhaps some of my own vegan "cheese" or these kale chips crumbled on top.

Just so you know, I started eating shirataki noodles ten years ago, before anyone other than Asians were eating them. So all of those companies that think that they discovered something and now are overcharging people up the whazoo, think again. You can buy them here or here for cheap.
