Reginette are about 8 inches long and half an inch wide.
Cooking time: 10-12 minutes.
Substitutions: Pappardelle, Fettuccine.
A recipe? Reginette with Pheasant Breast. Italian supermarkets generally have a selection of frozen game, including pheasant. If you cannot find pheasant breast, use the breast of Guinea hen or duck. To serve 4:
Dice the pancetta, celery, carrot and onion. Cube the pheasant breast int half-inch (1 star) cm) cubes. Sauté the vegetables and pancetta in half the butter, and when the onion has turned translucent gold add the pheasant. Cook, stirring, until the pheasant is browned on all sides, and then add the wine. When it has evaporated, add the porcini, tomato paste, bullion cube, and sufficient water to make a fairly liquid sauce. Simmer the sauce, stirring it occasionally, for 30-35 minutes; midway through the cooking check seasoning.
While the sauce is cooking, bring pasta water to a boil, salt it, and cook the pasta. Season the pasta with the sauce and the remaining butter, and set the grated cheese on the table for those who want it.
