Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the cinnamon, allspice, golden raisins, and pine nuts, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the pine nuts are lightly golden.
Add the shredded chicken and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked tagliatelle into the skillet with the chicken mixture, mixing thoroughly to coat the pasta in the sauce. Add some reserved pasta water a little at a time if the mixture seems dry.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving to add freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this unique, flavorful pasta inspired by Venetian traditions.
