Instructions
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini and cook for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain in a colander over a bowl to save some of the pasta water in case you want to loosen the alfredo.
For the Marinara
In a medium saucepan, add the oil and onions and cook over low to medium heat until translucent, about 6 minutes. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes. With an immersion blender or food processor, puree tomato mixture and adjust seasonings.
For the Alfredo Sauce
In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted add the cream cheese and whipping cream. Whisk continuously until melted.
Whisk in the minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir until combined. Add the cheeses and parsley and mix to combine. Continue to stir for about 3 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
For the Venison
Slice venison into 1-inch slices and pound each slice to ¼-inch thickness.
On a plate, mix flour, salt, and pepper. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, mix Panko and Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving.
Lightly dredge venison in the flour mixture, then the egg wash, and then the Parmesan Panko mixture.
Heat oil and butter in a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat on each side or until browned. Place cooked venison on a cooling rack set over a sheet pan.
To Plate
In a large bowl, mix the fettuccini and alfredo sauce until well combined. If you need to loosen the sauce, add a little water sauce from the reserved pasta water.
Divide the pasta alfredo among 6 plates. Divide sliced venison among the plates over the alfredo and top with marinara sauce. Sprinkle parmesan cheese and parsley over the top of each dish and dig in.
