This is a pasta sauce specifically designed for hare, or jackrabbit. If you don't have one lying around, don't substitute rabbit -- use a piece of lamb, venison or beef instead. It's a red meat ragu. Nothing else in this recipe is hard to find. As for pasta, I made my own pappardelle pasta, and you can use any one of my pasta recipes to make your own. Or you can buy fresh pappardelle or just use dried spaghetti. This sauce keeps well in the fridge for a week or so, and can be frozen.
