SLOW COOKER CHICKEN RAGù WITH HERBED RICOTTA

This recipe has a comforting lasagna vibe, as the spicy chicken-and-tomato sauce mingles with the rich, herby ricotta. Make the sauce as hot as you like: Begin with 1 1/2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes for a fairly mild spice level, then add more at the end if you want more heat. You'll notice there isn't much liquid when the chicken and vegetables go into the slow cooker, but have faith: The juices released during cooking end up making a not-too-thick ragù that is perfect for saucing pasta. In fact, because some chicken has more moisture than others, you may end up with more liquid than you'd like. If that happens, turn off the heat so the sauce cools a bit and is not bubbling, then vigorously stir in two egg yolks before you add the pasta. This adds glossy thickening power, just like it does in carbonara.

Slow Cooker Chicken Ragù With Herbed Ricotta image

Steps:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, combine the chicken, carrot, onion, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, thyme, oregano, red-pepper flakes and onion powder. Add 2 teaspoons kosher salt and a couple grinds of pepper.
  • Pour the tomatoes and their juices into the slow cooker, crushing the tomatoes with your hands, if using whole. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low until the chicken is very tender, about 6 hours. The ragù will hold well on warm for an additional 1 to 2 hours.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, in a small bowl, combine the ricotta with the chopped herbs, lemon juice and a pinch of salt; set aside.
  • Coarsely shred the cooked chicken with two forks. Remove and discard the herb sprigs and add the vinegar and the basil leaves. Taste the sauce, adding more red-pepper flakes, if you like. Turn off the slow cooker. Pour the drained pasta into the slow cooker and toss to combine.
  • Divide among bowls and top with the ricotta mixture.

  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Butterfly the chicken breasts and season both sides of each piece with salt, pepper and a pinch of paprika. Add the olive oil and the chicken breast pieces to the skillet. Cook the chicken on medium heat until it's browned nicely on one side. Flip the chicken and cook on the other side until cooked through to 165 degrees.
  • When the chicken is almost cooked, add the tomatoes and zucchini to the skillet, along with the garlic and lemon zest and juice. Let the vegetables begin to caramelize a little bit and then add the white wine.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, the vegetables have softened slightly, and the wine has reduced, remove the chicken and vegetables from the skillet to a plate and let them rest while you cook the pasta.
  • To the same skillet add the linguine noodles and the chicken broth, and let the noodles simmer in the broth until they're just done and the broth is disappearing. Add the ricotta cheese and toss the hot noodles in the ricotta until the ricotta melts and develops a creamy sauce.
