Deer Steak with Butter Zucchini Tomato Sauce

1/2 Lb deer (thanks to the Food Bank) or beef steak
4 TBs butter
1 zucchini, peeled and chopped in bite size pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, mashed
1 big tomato, chopped
Salt and pepper
Oregano
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (ideally from raw milk)
1 bag good cheese ravioli (ok, I know that's not from scratch ;))

Bring ravioli or noodle water to a boil. In a heavy cast-iron pan fry steak very briefly in grape-seed oil (only about 1 min. on each side). Place meat on a plate and keep warm. Using the same pan sautee onions in butter on medium-low heat until soft. Add garlic and zucchini, fry a couple of minutes. Add tomato. Season with salt and pepper and oregano. Cut steak into fine slices. Prepare the ravioli (or noodles) according to package directions. To serve arrange pasta on a plate, top with steak and zucchini/tomato sauces. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. I served it with Arugula leaves.

Pasta Spinach Alfredo - Creamy

Carlotta made this last night - it's one of her favorites

1 cup heavy cream, not homogenized
¼- ½ cup butter, ideally from pastured cow milk
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (ideally made from raw milk)
1 ts salt
¼ ts ground black pepper
1/4 ts nutmeg
1 package frozen organic spinach
1 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic

You will need to:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes (or as pasta package directs) or until al dente; drain.
Sautee onion and 1 clove of garlic for about 10 min. Add spinach and cook on low-medium heat until defrosted. Season with salt, nutmeg, pepper a little bit of rapadura.
Combine heavy cream and butter in a Dutch oven or large, heavy sauce pan over medium heat. Heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally; be careful not bring mixture to a boil. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and 1 crushed clove of garlic. Toss with cooked pasta and serve immediately on plates and top with spinach and additional grated cheese.
