Bucatini Stuffed Roast Chicken Recipe

Step-by-Step Instructions

• STEP 1.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini pasta until al dente (around 8 minutes), then drain. Toss with olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.

• STEP 1.Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add marinara sauce, dried basil, and oregano. Stir well. Mix the cooked bucatini into the sauce and season with salt and pepper.

• STEP 2.Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken, ensuring not to tear it. Spoon the bucatini mixture under the skin and into the cavity of the chicken.

• STEP 3.Rub the entire chicken with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the stuffed chicken in a roasting pan. Roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting occasionally for a golden-brown finish.

• STEP 4.Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve.
