    Great flavor, but I agree w/ an earlier reviewer's comments that this isn't a weeknight dinner, given the amount of prep that goes into it. That being said, I love the flavor. Made 1/2 the recipe but made a few tweaks:

    Marinara:
    1 Doubled the garlic
    2 Omitted celery and used 4x the carrots (yes, really

    Chicken:
    1 Halved the ingredients called for and used 1.3 lbs chicken (not sure how many thighs this equates to in the original recipe
    2 Kept the linguine and ragu sauce separate until serving (e.g. ignored the "reserve liquid" instructions

    This recipe was decent. Not really what I expected, but still good. I think I expected the chicken to sauce ratio to be more substantial. I would use less sauce next time. I also don't think that it was so "easy" as some said. There is A LOT of chopping to get all the ingredients into fine pieces. I would use my food processor next time. I thought if I did that it would be too mushy, but after making it I think that the carrots, shallots and celery are just great flavor boosters and could be done in the food processor.

    This dish was absolutely amazing! Made this for dinner tonight and my boyfriend, who doesn't even like tomatoes, said this is something who would order at a restaurant. The ingredients blended well together and the juices absorbed in the meat giving it so much flavor. I used chicken breasts instead of thighs b/c that's all I had, but worked well, just a little overcooked but that was my fault. Not a week night dinner if you're looking for something quick. Lots of prep and work, but worth the effort!

    I made this the other night and couldn't have been happier. I used fresh linguine and I swear that I won't use the dry stuff ever again. This a fresh and flavorful dish.

    Wow Giada! This was a wonderful dish! I have two boys that will pick the beef out of any sauce, so I tend to make sauce and put it aside for them before finishing it. I never thought of using chicken instead! THEY LOVED IT! I was a little concerned with the celery and carrots action but, it was a wonderful mix and the kids didn't even know they were eating vegtables!!! This is a definate do again dish in my house! Thank you for sharing and we love watching you!

    Me and my 2 year old really enjoyed this dish and my 4 yr old tried it. My husband thought it was missing a little zing - maybe garlic. I left out the shallots b/c I didn't want my picky eaters to spot them. Maybe this is the zing my husband was looking for. I also forgot the pasta water and it still came out great. My house is always stocked with the exact ingredients so this will definitely become a "go to" for me. I served with parmesean cheese and fresh mozzerella.

    My family loves this recipe as does everyone I've ever made it for. My shortcut for this is to purchase a rotisserie chicken from the store and pick all of the meat off of it. I use the dark meat plus the wing meat to make this dish, and then I use the white meat half to make her Fresh Fettuccine with Roasted Chicken and Broccoli Rabe. Once you've picked the chicken, the dish comes together really fast. I also started using fresh linguine which we really loved as well with it!
