Print Recipe

Ingredients

salt & pepper .
12 oz elbow macaroni .
2 garlic cloves, crushed, peeled, sliced .
3 1/2 lbs roasting chickens .
1/2 c white wine .
1 lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded, coarsely sliced .
1 lemon, juice of .
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated .
3 tbsps olive oil .
1/4 c basil leaves, fresh

Directions

Step #1 Place the sliced tomatoes in a colander & salt them & let them sit, draining, for about an hr.
Step #2 Preheat oven to 450°F.
Step #3 Spice up the cavity of the chicken with salt & pepper & smear the cavity with the grated ginger.
Step #4 Smear the outside of the bird with olive oil & season this with salt & pepper.
Step #5 Place the chicken on its side in an oval baking dish & place the dish in the oven.
Step #6 When the bird begins to color (loght golden), when that side has begun to color, then, turn it on its other side, turn it on its back.
Step #7 After 20 mins, turn the oven down to 350°F, remove the excess fat from the pan & begin to baste with lemon juice.
Step #8 Bring the wine to a simmer & reserve.
Step #9 When there is no more lemon juice, pour the wine into the pan & continue basting.
Step #10 Roast for about 45 mins more, or until juice runs clear when the thigh is pricked above the drumstick joint.
Step #11 When the chicken is done, remove this from the oven, & let it rest while you drain any excess fat from the pan juices.
Step #12 Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in generously salted, vigorously boiling water for about 12 mins.
Step #13 In a heavy frying over high heat, add the garlic to 2 tbsps of olive oil.
Step #14 As soon as the garlic begins to sizzle, add the tomatoes.
Step #15 Shake the pan constantly, tossing the tomatoes repeatedly for about a mnute or so, until they are nearly dry & give off a caramelized scent.
Step #16 Add the basil leaves, tearing them by hand, toss the tomato mixture again & remove this from heat.
Step #17 Drain the macaroni & place this in a wide shallow serving dish which you have warmed (easiest to do this by placing dish in sink when you drain the pasta--the pasta water will warm the dish).
Step #18 Add the tomatoes & the chicken's roasting juices to the macaroni & toss well.
Step #19 Carve the chicken at the table & serve it with the macaroni.
