Elevate your dinner experience tonight with this unique blend of elk and pasta that’s both hearty and flavorful!

1

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add 2 cups of pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2

While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3

Add minced garlic (3 cloves) and chopped onion (1 piece) to the skillet. Cook until they become fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.

4

Next, add diced bell pepper (1 piece) to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes until softened.

5

Crumble in the elk burger (1 pound) and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked. Make sure to break it apart into small pieces as it cooks.

6

Pour in 1 cup of tomato sauce along with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Stir well, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat to blend the flavors.

7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and allow it to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

8

Serve hot, and enjoy your Elk Burger Bowl with Pasta!

• Substitute elk with another game meat like bison for a different flavor profile.
• Incorporate seasonal vegetables like zucchini or spinach for added nutrition and color.
• Top with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream for a creamy finish.

• Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the elk for a nice sear.
• Do not overcook the pasta; aim for al dente for the best texture.
• Feel free to customize the spices according to your taste preferences!
