Classic Comfort: Pasta House-Style Linguine with Chicken Livers
Add the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Return the seared chicken livers to the pan, along with any accumulated juices. Cook for 2–3 minutes, just until the livers are heated through and cooked fully (no longer pink inside). Stir in the chopped parsley. If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of reserved pasta water. Pasta House Linguine With Chicken Livers Recipe
Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to the same pan. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute longer, until it darkens slightly. Pour in the sherry (or Marsala) to deglaze, scraping the pan vigorously. Simmer for 1 minute to cook off alcohol. Stir in the chopped parsley
In a large skillet or sauté pan (12-inch), heat 2 tbsp of the butter and 3 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. When the foam subsides, add the dredged chicken livers in a single layer (work in two batches if needed). Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside. Do not overcook, or they become grainy. Transfer livers to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to the same pan
Bring a large pot of salted water (2 tbsp kosher salt per gallon) to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package directions until al dente . Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
