Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6-8 rabbit loins cleaned, washed and thoroughly dried with a paper towel
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon Milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1½ cup dried bread crumbs or panko
  • ½ teaspoon each parsley, oregano, basil, salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil to coat pan.
  • 3 cups canned or homemade tomato sauce (if using canned I usually "doctor" it with basil, parsley, oregano, garlic and pepper)
  • 1½ cup parmesan cheese separated
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 1 pound pasta cooked according to package directions.
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Start a large pot with salted water boiling for the pasta. Drop the pasta before the rabbit is done and cook according to package directions.
  • Preheat oven to broil. Set up a dredging station for dredging rabbits. Place the eggs and milk in one bowl and whisk up.
    2 eggs, 2 tablespoon Milk, salt and pepper to taste
  • Mix bread crumbs, ½ cup of parmesan and spices together in a separate bowl.
    1½ cup dried bread crumbs or panko, ½ teaspoon each, 1½ cup parmesan cheese
  • Dredge rabbit pieces in egg and then in bread crumb mixture and set on a plate until all loin pieces are breaded. This will give them a chance to start coming to room temperature.
    6-8 rabbit loins
  • Heat the sauce in a small saucepan. Add ½ cup of parmesan cheese to the sauce.
    3 cups canned or homemade tomato sauce
  • Fry rabbit loins in hot oil until browned. Then place in an ovenproof casserole.
    2 tablespoon olive oil to coat pan.
  • Top with the remainder of the parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Broil, just a few minutes until the top of the cheese, is nicely browned—about 3 minutes.
    1 cup mozzarella
  • Serve with pasta mixed with the remainder of the sauce.

Notes

Best if eaten immediately.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days.
Reheat in microwave or, covered, in 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, until hot.
Do not freeze.
