Ingredients

Serving 4
  Ingredients
6 Pheasant thighs, skinless and boneless
1tbsp Olive oil
300g Fettuccine or Tagliatelle
1tbsp Butter
200ml Double cream
1/2 a nut Grated nutmeg
100g Parmesan
To taste Parsley, chopped

1. Heat the olive

oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the pheasant thighs and fry for around 7 mins, turning half way, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool a little, then use two forks to shred.

2. Bring a pan

of salted water to the boil and add the pasta, cook for 1 minute less the package instructions.

3. Whilst the pasta

is cooking, add the butter to the frying pan over a medium heat, scraping the bottom a little to get any of the browned bits. Tip in the cream along with the nutmeg and bring to a simmer. Add the pheasant back to the pan.

4. Once the pasta

is cooked, use tongs to transfer the pasta straight from the water into the frying pan with the cream mixture. Sprinkle most of the parmesan over and use the tongs to toss it all together, adding a splash of the pasta water if it looks a little stiff. Season well, then tip into bowls. Top with the remaining parmesan, a scattering of parsley, and black pepper.
