Ground Venison with Spaghetti Sauce and Noodles

Allergy- Friendly

This sauce is allergy-friendly as the meat is lean, organic, and antibiotic-free. The sauce also uses Rao’s Marinara Sauce which is known to be low in sugar and free from the top allergens. This is one of my favorite marinara sauces to use in my cooking, and I recommend it to all of my family and friends. Finally, the pasta that was used for this dish is egg-and gluten-free and can be found in most (if not all) grocery stores.

Ingredients

Ground Venison (or any lean, ground meat)
Italian Seasoning
Rao’s Marinara Sauce
Gluten-Free, Egg-Free Pasta Noodles or Spaghetti

Instructions

First, in a large pot, such as a Le Creuset Dutch Oven, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil.
Then, brown the ground Venison in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle in 4-5 tbsp. of Italian seasoning while the Venison is browning.
Once the water begins to boil, dump in 1 c. of pasta (your favorite pasta works).
Next, dump in 1 large jar of Rao’s Marinara Sauce when the ground Venison is browned.
Then, simmer the marinara and meat sauce mixture for 10-15 minutes while the pasta cooks.
Next, after the pasta has cooked to al dente, drain the pasta using a colander.
Finally, spoon 1/2 c. of pasta into a bowl and spoon 1 c. of ground Venison Spaghetti Sauce on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese if desired. Serve hot.

Season and Brown the Venison

First, brown the **Ground Venison** with Italian Seasoning for about 10 minutes (or until no pink is showing).

Brown Venison — Once the **Venison** is browned, pour in Rao’s Marinara Sauce.

Pour in the Marinara Sauce

Pour in the Rao’s Marinara Sauce over the **Ground Venison** and bring it to a simmer.

Cook the Pasta

Simmer the sauce while the pasta finishes cooking.

It’s Ready!

Finally, serve the Ground Venison Spaghetti Sauce over your favorite pasta, or spaghetti. Sprinkle with cheese if desired.

Storing Leftovers and Other Recommendations

You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

However, if you’d like to make this sauce in bulk, store the sauce in an airtight container and freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw the sauce overnight in the refrigerator, heat in a skillet, and serve warm when you’re ready to serve this for another quick meal.

Finally, you could also make this dish with Ground Venison Meatballs instead of Ground Venison Spaghetti Sauce. You would follow the same steps, however, instead of browning Ground Venison, you’d cook the meatballs, add them to the Rao’s Marinara Sauce, and then serve over your favorite spaghetti or pasta. Serve hot and enjoy! The leftover storage would be the same as the Venison Spaghetti Sauce as well.
