Preparation:

* Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" and "Green Pasta" recipes which are included in this collection. Boil whole chicken 1 hour until very tender and allow to cool. Remove skin and discard. Remove all meat and pull apart to thin shreds. Reduce broth to 1 cup. In a 6-quart saucepan, heat butter until foam subsides. Add onion, celery and garlic and cook over medium heat until soft and golden-brown. Add wine, Basic Tomato Sauce and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add shredded chicken meat and thyme and return to boil. Lower heat and simmer 1 hour until thick. Set aside. Bring 6 quarts water to boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Roll Green Pasta to thinnest setting and cut into 3/4-inch ribbons. Drop pasta in water and cook until al dente. Drain well and toss into pan with sauce. Toss gently over medium heat until dressed and serve. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5742)
