Rabbit, a low-fat meat with a delicate flavour, is the classic ingredient for this Tuscan dish, although wild hare is often used. Pappardelle is its perfect pasta partner. Serve it with a radicchio salad, or combine mixed leaves, herbs, cucumber, courgette and green pepper to boost the vegetable content of the meal.

Fresh basil, rocket, peppers, olives and tomatoes give a summery, Mediterranean flavour to this prepare-ahead salad. It makes a nutritious main course because it's high in starchy carbohydrates with just enough protein from the bresaola, which is Italian cured beef. To complete the theme, serve it with olive ciabatta.
