3 tb Tomato paste
2 tb Olive oil

+=OR=+
1/2 ts Dried oregano
1 1/2 ts Red-pepper flakes; more to

1 ts Onion powder
Salt & black pepper
14 oz Can whole tomatoes or

8 oz Pappardelle, tagliatelle,

1 c Ricotta
1/4 c (heaping) chopped soft fresh

Juice of 1/4 lemon (1-2 ts)
1 ts Balsamic vinegar
1 Handful torn fresh basil
- leaves
In a 6 to 8 qt 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 ragu 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.
