    This was a neat way to use a rotisserie chicken. The fresh rosemary adds so much flavor! This is a great fast meal. Thanks for thinking of it!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Cook the Pasta According to the Package Directions.

    2
    Done

    Shred the Chicken, Using a Fork or Your Fingers, While the Pasta Cooks. Discard the Skin and Bones.

    3
    Done

    Drain the Pasta, Reserving 1 1/4 Cups of the Water. Return the Pasta to the Pot.

    4
    Done

    Add the Reserved Pasta Water, Chicken, Rosemary, 1/2 Cup of the Parmesan, 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper to the Pot. Stir Over Medium-Low Heat Until the Sauce Has Thickened Slightly, About 2 Minutes.

    5
    Done

    Divide Among Individual Bowls and Sprinkle With the Remaining Parmesan.

    6
    Done

    Tip: Using Water Reserved from the Pasta Pot Is a Classic Cook's Trick. Starchy and Salted, It Makes a Light, Flavorful Sauce When Tossed With Cheese and Herbs. It's Also Great For Thinning Pestos and Marinaras.
