You can find my quail with pasta recipe in this post.

You need a quail sauce and triggered quail for this dish.

As a rule, this pasta is a second-day dish for me to use up leftovers.

Many years ago I cooked this pasta dish just after Christmas for the staff party.

Once the sauce is cooked and the quail are prepared, this dish is a quick success.

Have fun and good luck!

The noodles with meat from duck legs and roast duck taste really great.

You can also use leftover meat from turkey and roast turkey as well as the sauce that has been boiled down.

Pigeons and pigeon jus are also a great twist on this dish.

Deboned meat from roast goose or goose legs and goose sauce taste fantastic with the noodles.

I cooked the dish shortly after Christmas, the pantry was already a bit empty 🙂
