Gozzoli said that when the knight tried to capture the hare, he pushed it out of the woods, where the falcon of the beautiful Amazon had seized her. The result was a quiet discussion about who the prey was, a discussion that was resolved when the lady invited the knight to go to her castle where they would taste the coveted animal together.Excellent with all types of pasta.
