Ingredients:

1 Rabbit, cleaned and cut into small pieces
1 pound of Pappardelle pasta
4 tablespoons of Olive oil
2 medium-sized Onions, finely chopped

2 sprigs of Thyme
2 tablespoons of Tomato paste

Season the rabbit pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rabbit and brown on all sides. Remove the rabbit from the skillet and keep aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, for about 5-7 minutes. Add the flour and tomato paste, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and red wine, and bring to a boil. Add the thyme, rabbit, salt, and pepper, and let simmer for about 30-40 minutes, until the rabbit is cooked through and tender.
While the rabbit is cooking, cook the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and toss it with the butter.
Combine the pasta and rabbit sauce and toss gently. Serve hot and garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
