Tagliatelle with Chicken
- 1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly milled black pepper
- Leaves from 3 rosemary sprigs, minced
- 1/3 cup sultanas, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes
- 1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
- 1 pound tagliatelle
- 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rub the chicken with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then place it breast down in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until well browned, turning it over toward the end to brown the breast.
- It's done when the juices run clear, not pink, when you cut into the thigh.
- When the chicken's nearly ready, put abundant water on for the pasta, salting it when it boils.
- Take the chicken out of the oven and take the meat off the bone, leaving all that glorious burnished skin on, and cut it into small pieces.
- I do much of this by just pulling, without a knife, but if you haven't got asbestos hands, use a knife and fork or wait until it is cooler.
- For the sauce, pour all the juices from the roasting pan into a saucepan.
- Add the rosemary, the drained sultanas and the pine nuts.
- Begin to simmer the sauce when you are ready to cook the pasta.
- Cook and drain the pasta, and toss it with the sauce, chicken pieces, and parsley in a large warmed bowl.
