Price/16oz. - serves two.

Looking for a restaurant-quality meal that’s dead simple to prepare, and locally unique?  We got you and your pasta covered. 

We do all the stuff that most commercial makers would never do, like make elk the #1 ingredient, like searing the elk in meatballs to generate the flavors of the Maillard reaction, like mashing by hand for 20 min in an acidic white wine to tenderize the meat, like hand chopping and reserving the pancetta and some of the vegetables to add them in at the end so you can see all the ingredients, like finding the best locally-made wine and pancetta to use, and like stirring through a 2+ hour braise to assure complete melt-in-your-mouth tenderization. 

Elk is a healthy source of protein.  No one is factory farming elk with chemical feed additives, growth hormone, and indiscriminate anti-biotics to meet the demands of a mega market. 

All of our elk is pasture-raised on small family farms around here, and processed at a USDA-supervised craft butcher here on the Western Slope. 

Aspen Provisions Elk Bolognese is made in small batches, by hand, in Carbondale.
