HOW TO MAKE VENISON LASAGNA STUFFED SHELLS 

3. While the venison is cooking, boil the jumbo shells until just al dente, following the package directions, then drain and place them back into the pot.

4. In a small bowl, add the ricotta, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine. Use an electric hand mixer if not softened.

5. Add the cheese mixture to the cooked venison and stir to combine. 6. Cover the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish with about 1/4 cup marinara sauce.

7. Place the jumbo shells into the baking dish and, using a spoon, gently fill each shell with the cheesy venison mixture.

8. Once they’re all filled, pour the remaining marinara over the shells. Then pour the alfredo over the shells.

9. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then uncover and bake for an additional five minutes. Serve immediately.
