Parmesan Pasta With Chicken and Rosemary

I am back! Finally feeling well enough to get back to blogging. Not that blogging is exhausting but... Enough excuses for my absence. What did I make for dinner?  Parmesan Pasta With Chicken and Rosemary from RealSimple.com. This was a perfect work night dinner. It came together in 15 minutes, did not fill the sink with too many dishes and was delicious!

From RealSimple.com, Parmesan Pasta With Chicken and Rosemary

Ingredients -
12 ounces orecchiette (about 3 cups)
1 2- to 2 1/2-pound rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3/4 cup grated Parmesan (3 ounces)
kosher salt and black pepper

Method -
Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1 ¼ cups of the cooking water. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.

Meanwhile, using a fork or your fingers, shred the chicken, discarding the skin and bones.

Toss the pasta with the chicken, rosemary, reserved pasta water, ½ cup of the Parmesan, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Cook, stirring, over medium-low heat, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan.
