Prep: 35 mins
Total: 2 hrs 35 mins
Ingredients
3 stalks celery, cut up
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into thick slices
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 4-pound roasting chicken
1/2 cup water
10 dried tomato halves
12 ounces penne or mostaccioli
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 to 1 pound wild mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Salad greens
Water or dry red wine
Directions
1. Place celery and onion in a roasting pan. Combine paprika, salt, pepper, and ginger; rub mixture over chicken. Place chicken on top of vegetables, and roast, uncovered, in a 400 degree F oven for 1-1/2 hours or until chicken is no longer pink and the drumsticks move easily in their sockets. Remove chicken from pan and reserve pan drippings. Let chicken cool about 30 minutes or until easy to handle. Cut meat into bite-size pieces to make 2 cups chicken. Save any remaining chicken and use for another purpose.
2. Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup water to boiling in a small saucepan. Add dried tomato halves. Cover, remove from heat and let stand about 20 minutes or until softened. Puree the mixture in a blender and add water or red wine to equal 1/2 cup, if necessary. Set aside.
3. Cook pasta in a large amount of boiling salted water for 13 minutes or until tender. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook mushrooms in oil until tender; add to drained pasta. In the same skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the pan drippings from chicken, the pureed dried tomatoes, and vinegar. Discard the remaining pan drippings. Add chicken pieces, tossing to coat, then add the chicken mixture and cherry tomatoes to the pasta mixture. Do not chill. (Salad may be held at room temperature for up to 30 minutes.) To serve, line a platter with salad greens and top with the pasta mixture. Makes 6 servings.
Make-Ahead Tip
Roast chicken; cool slightly. Cut into bite-size pieces. Cover and chill up to 24 hours. Cover and chill pan drippings.
