Preparations
Remove the outer layer from the shallot and clove of garlic. Chop the garlic in slices and the shallot in even cubes. Then remove the top of the carrot and cut it in even cubes. Clean the mushrooms with a brush and chop these in slices.
Add plenty of water to a cooking pot (with a generous amount of salt) and bring it to a boil.
Cooking
Pour the olive oil into the frying pan. Add the garlic, shallot and carrots and cook these until the shallot is glossy.
Then add the shiitake mushrooms, ground venison, rosemary, bay leaf and tomato puree. When the venison is brown, you can add the peeled tomatoes and the broth. *If you want to add juniper berries, you can also add those in this step
After 25 minutes of cooking, pour in the Dutch Jenever. Let the alcohol dissolve by letting the sauce cook for another 5 minutes.
In the meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente in the boiling salted water.
