Yes. Chicken thighs or pork shoulder work as replacements, though they cook faster and lack rabbit's delicate flavor; reduce cooking time by 20-30 minutes.
Fresh pasta dough keeps refrigerated for up to 2 days wrapped in plastic. Roll and cut pasta same-day for best texture, or freeze cut pasta up to 3 months.
Local white wines like Greco di Ischia or Fiano complement the rabbit without overpowering it. Avoid heavy reds.
The fresh pasta contains wheat flour. Substitute with gluten-free pasta flour blend at 1:1 ratio for the dough.
Meat should be tender enough to pull from bone easily and register 160°F internal temperature. Braise until fork-tender, typically 45-60 minutes depending on size.
