We received some Venison from friends of ours and I couldn’t wait to do something with it.

It was the perfect idea, we had a meeting we had to get to, and I needed to get something delicious and easy on the table. And so we began the process of a quick and easy, flavorful meal.

I made up some Venison Meatballs and began to brown them in a skillet on the stove. About halfway through cooking, I added the Basil Garlic Simmer Sauce. I let them simmer in that about 30 minutes (or until I was ready to serve everything).

They were SO good! And would have been fantastic by themselves. But when added to the whole meal? AMAZING!

Here’s how you can make your own Venison Bruschetta Pasta.

We also tried out the delicious Asian Fish Taco’s as well… they were AMAZING and have been made twice since!
