Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
½ onion diced
2 cloves minced garlic
1 lb grassfed ground beef
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with juices
3.5 cups chicken broth or beef broth
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
1.5 boxes Jovial Foods grain free cassava elbows 12 oz total

"Cheese" Sauce

¾ cup raw, unsalted cashews
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp nutritonal yeast
¼ tsp sea salt
½ cup water

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the onion, garlic, and ground beef. Saute for 5-7 minutes until the beef is mostly browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add in the diced tomatoes, broth, and spices. Stir and bring it to a boil, then add in the cassava pasta. Cook it for 10 minutes (or according to package directions if using another pasta), stirring frequently to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
While the pasta is cooking, make the "cheese" sauce. Combine all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend on high for 30 seconds - 1 minute until very smooth and creamy. When the pasta is done, it may look like there is excess liquid in the pot. This is okay - it will thicken while standing! Stir in the "cheese" sauce and top with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
