Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 chicken thighs
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
2 ribs celery, coarsely chopped
2 onions, 1 quartered at the root end and 1 chopped
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
Small handful dried porcini mushrooms
1/4 cup EVOO
1/4 pound pancetta or guanciale, cut into thin batons or chopped
4 cloves garlic, sliced
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 pound rigatoni
Grated pecorino cheese
Flat-leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs and breasts in a medium pot with the carrots, celery, quartered onion and bay leaves. Sprinkle with salt and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer to cook through and flavor the stock, 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a shallow dish until cool enough to handle. Strain the stock and reserve the meat.
  • Place the dried mushrooms in a small pot and cover with 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the stock. Bring to a simmer until the mushrooms are reconstituted, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the meat from the chicken bones, discarding the skin and bones, and pull into small pieces. You will need only the dark meat. (Reserve the white meat for another use, such as Creamy Chicken and Noodles.)
  • Heat the EVOO over medium-high heat in the pot used to cook the chicken. Cook the pancetta to render, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the chopped onion, garlic and rosemary, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, pour in the wine and cook until reduced by half. Return the pulled chicken into the pot with 2 cups of the reserved stock. (Reserve the remaining chicken stock for another recipe, such as Creamy Chicken and Noodles.)
  • Chop the reconstituted mushrooms and add them into the sauce along with their liquid. Simmer to thicken the sauce, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta to al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the starchy cooking liquid just before draining. Toss the pasta with the sauce and starchy water. Mix in some pecorino, and serve with more to pass at the table. Garnish with grassy flat-leaf parsley.
  • Cook's Note: Cool and store the sauce for a make-ahead meal. Bring to room temperature before reheating over medium heat. Cook the pasta right before serving.

RIGATONI WITH CHICKEN THIGHS



Rigatoni with Chicken Thighs image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt
1 package rigatoni (or your favorite pasta)
Olive oil, as needed
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small to medium-sized onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth (or white wine)
Two 15-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch sugar
Fresh basil, as needed
Grated Parmesan, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and put the rigatoni into it. Cook until al dente (tender firm).
  • Heat a large skillet until very hot and then generously drizzle in some olive oil. Swirl to coat the skillet, and then add half of the cut-up chicken pieces, spreading them out as you put them in. NOTE: Do not begin stirring the chicken immediately as you want to get them nice and brown. After a minute or two, flip over the chicken with a spatula and let brown on the other side. Remove to a plate and set aside. Repeat with the second half of the chicken pieces.
  • Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil, if needed, into the hot skillet and throw in the garlic and chopped onions and give them a stir. Now add the chicken broth (or wine), whisking to deglaze the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the liquid reduces by half. Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and a pinch of sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the chicken (and don't forget all of those yummy chicken juices on the plate) to the tomato/onion mixture and continue simmering for another 15 minutes. Toward the end of the cooking process, chop up your fresh basil and add it to the sauce, stirring to combine.
  • Put the pasta on a platter or in a large bowl and smother with the sauce. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
