This is an excellent way to finish off the remains of the roasted chicken from Sunday lunch. It is also one of the best cold pasta dishes I know.

Method

Cook and drain the pasta. Turn it into a large mixing bowl, toss with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and leave to cool.

In another bowl mix together the chicken, cornichons, parsley and garlic. Add the vinegar and the remaining oil, then add Tabasco and Worcester sauces to taste, and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the dressing over the pasta. Mix well and serve at room temperature.
