We didn’t intend to share this recipe (so there won’t be an IGTV, forgive us) but after we both innocently shared a picture of dinner to our personal pages, the requests came flying in so here you have it! Nick made this sausage ragu using venison sausages (venison that he’s harvested himself) but you can use any snags and can use pasta if you aren’t a gnocchi fan! Hope you’ve had a happy long weekend, filling your faces as we have.
