  • About

This is a punchy dish with concentrated flavours that work just as well at any time of year. Hailing from beautiful Ischia, it serves four as two courses of a meal.

Ingredients

  • 300-400 g bucatini
  • 1 farmed rabbit
  • 150 ml olive oil

Method

Cut the rabbit into joints (cut the legs and shoulders off the spine, cut off tail, neck and ribs, cut the torso into four sections, leaving belly flaps, liver and kidneys attached).

Heat the oil in a very wide pan (40cm – you need space to brown the rabbit, although this can be done in two batches in a smaller pan). Fry the garlic with the chilli until the cloves begin to brown, remove
