Recipe Summary Chef John's Chicken Spaghetti

No canned soups were harmed in the making of this chicken spaghetti recipe, which showcases a whole bird. Other than requiring a little time, this recipe is dead simple. Just be sure to undercook your pasta by at least a minute, since it'll finish cooking in hot sauce for a few more minutes. This is a critical step, and allows all those flavors to get sucked up by the still hydrating spaghetti. Garnish with a little more Pecorino Romano cheese and basil.

Ingredients | Pasta And Chicken Recipes Red Sauce

  • 1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced basil leaves
  • ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Directions

  • Place chicken in a pot and pour marinara sauce on top. Add water and anchovies. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, without stirring, for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a bowl using tongs. Let cool to the touch.
  • Meanwhile, bring sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, skimming off the fat from the surface, until sauce is reduced by at least half, 20 to 35 minutes.
  • Tear off chicken meat by hand and transfer to a bowl, breaking the pieces into your desired size.
  • Add the chicken, red pepper flakes, and salt to the reduced sauce. Cook and stir until chicken is heated through, about 2 minutes. Keep on low heat while you cook the pasta.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water according to package instructions, reducing time by 1 minute, about 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot; reduce heat to low.
  • Add the chicken sauce and Pecorino Romano to the pasta. Sprinkle in basil and add butter. Stir until butter melts, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and add remaining Pecorino Romano cheese. Cover and let sit for 1 minute. Stir and serve.
  • I cook only 4 ounces, or 1 portion, of pasta in the video, but this recipe makes enough sauce for 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of pasta.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, simply change the ratio of sauce to water when you start the recipe. You can also reduce it longer, but you knew that.
  • You can substitute chicken broth for the water and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for the Pecorino Romano.
  • This is also a great make-ahead meal, as you can prep your sauce one day, and then assemble the finished dish at a later date.
