Chicken with Pasta
Golden roasted chicken deepens in tomato, garlic, cinnamon, and wine, joining tender pasta in fragrant sauce. At the heart of this plate, the juicy meat melds with soft noodles—offering warmth, depth, and comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
1 whole chicken
500 g pasta
2 onions
4 ripe tomatoes
50 ml wine
2 garlic cloves
1 cinnamon stick
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Sweet paprika
Instructions
In a pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the chicken until browned on all sides, then set it aside in a bowl. Next, sauté the finely chopped onions and garlic for one to two minutes, then add the tomatoes. Once everything starts to simmer, add the chicken back into the pot along with the cinnamon stick, salt, pepper, paprika, and finally the wine. Keep the pot uncovered until the alcohol evaporates. Then, cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Add water if needed during cooking.
For the Pasta
Fill a pot halfway with water, add salt, and cover until it boils. Add the pasta and stir to prevent sticking, cooking for about 20 minutes or until done to your preference. Once ready, drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Try tossing it with a bit of heated olive oil instead of butter. The aroma of olive oil is truly unique.
Why It’s Irresistible
Tomato sauce, warm spices, and wine elevate the chicken, while pasta captures every drop of savory juice—a harmony that feels both simple and deeply satisfying.
Serving Suggestions
Serve steaming hot, perhaps with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or a wedge of lemon to brighten. Perfect for cozy dinners that need both substance and soul.
