CHICKEN RAGù WITH FENNEL
This is a simplified riff on a popular recipe that the food editor Andy Baraghani developed for Bon Appétit magazine. It's a velvety ragù that relies on chicken thighs, bacon and onions for flavor. It takes a couple of steps - browning the chicken, letting it cool after it braises and then shredding it - but it is not too challenging for a weeknight. The recipe is versatile. Over egg noodles, it serves six for dinner, but it can also make a nice dinner for two or four. The leftovers freeze well, or can turn into a filling for hand pies, which are terrific tucked into lunchboxes the next day.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a wide saucepan or deep skillet that will fit six thighs snugly and turn the heat to medium. Add the bacon and cook it until it's crisp, 5 to 6 minutes, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer it to a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the chicken, skin-side down, to begin to brown. After 3 or 4 minutes, turn it and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat.
- Add the onion and fennel and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and just starting to turn golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the thyme and cook for another minute or so.
- Pour in wine and simmer, stirring and scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the bacon and then the chicken with any accumulated juices, skin-side up, keeping the thighs in a single layer. Pour in enough water to almost cover the chicken.
- Bring to a simmer and then turn the heat down so the liquid is bubbling very gently. Partially cover with a lid, setting it so some steam can escape. Cook until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool. Once you can handle it, remove the bones and skin and shred the chicken by hand.
- If you are serving the ragù over pasta, get your water going: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining.
- Add milk to the pan and turn the burner to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until sauce is nearly reduced by half and slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the shredded chicken back to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the butter, then the Parmesan. If serving over pasta, add some of the starchy pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
- Add the parsley, and toss sauce with the pasta, if using. Pass more Parmesan at the table.

LINGUINE WITH CHICKEN RAGU
Another recipe I adopted from Giada's site. WONDERFUL! I highly recommend making the marinara sauce from Giada listed at the bottom of this recipe for the best flavor. I don't think the average jar sauce will do this justice. I like to freeze batches of marinara and just thaw as I need for my recipes. If you do this, you can whip this together in no time! My family adores this. I also usually serve this over spaghetti rather than linguine...personal preference. KEEP IN MIND THE MARINARA MAKES 2 QUARTS - YOU ONLY NEED 4 CUPS FOR THIS RECIPE SO NUTRITION INFO WILL BE OFF SINCE YOU'LL BE SAVING SOME OF THE SAUCE.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the juices evaporate and the chicken is golden, about 10 minutes. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add the rosemary and mix well. Add the marinara sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid. Add the linguine to the ragu and toss to coat, adding some reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
- MARINARA DIRECTIONS.
- In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper, to taste. (The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. For a flavorful ragu, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones and skin add depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Brown the chicken well. This will help develop the flavor of the chicken and the sauce.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will also help enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Don't be afraid to add vegetables. Vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions add sweetness and depth of flavor to the sauce.
- Use a flavorful wine. A dry red wine, such as Chianti or Cabernet Sauvignon, will add complexity to the sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer for a while. This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Garnish with fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, will brighten up the flavor of the dish.
Conclusion:
Linguine with Chicken Ragu is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and velvety. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
