Venison Red Pepper Pasta
May 22, 2014
My kids devoured this meal fast. I’m glad they liked it but I got maybe three bites out of this total. No joke, they will attack pasta with vengeance and if you think they will be left overs? Think again. I ought to double it next time so I can actaully eat more than an ounce! ha
Quick and easy this dinner can be done in under 30 minutes , perfect for busy nights. Serve it up with a salad on the side.
Ingredients
1 box penne pasta
2 (12-ounce) jars roasted red peppers
1 cup grated Parmesan
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 lb of venison ( ground) you can use ground beef and or even top sirloin ground up.
1 large red pepper chopped
Parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook pasta according to directions.
Red pepper sauce-
Combine red peppers, Parmesan, and garlic in food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the half the olive oil slowly, season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, add in the chopped pepper, till heated slightly. Add ground venison and cook until browned and cooked through Stir in pasta and red pepper mixture until well combined. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or even mozzarella cheese .

I haven't had venison in forever. I live in the country though and tons of people eat it around here.

Looks really good. My neighbor gave us a ton of venison last year – wish I would have read this first!

This looks really good! I would probably use ground turkey in ours! I will have to make this soon!

Brings back a lot of memories from when I was growing up and my mom would try and hide the venison from us, LOL. We could always tell. This looks very good and since I now do not have access to venison, I most likely will make it with beef.

We actually eat venison fairly often. I love the flavor and we add spices when we make it as well.

This looks so good! I think I would use ground beef, because it's easier to find, but I bet it's delicious with venison.

That sounds great, I would have to use the ground meat though – not sure if any stores sell venison around here.

That sounds delicious! I haven't had venison in years, but it's time to bring it back into the mix I think.

Anything that is fast and easy to prepare is what I want. My kiddos loved pasta too. This will be perfect for some night.
