- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until chicken is falling off the bone, about 45 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate; let cool slightly.
- Shred chicken with 2 forks; discard bones. Return chicken to broth.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until just al dente according to package directions. Drain.
