Method

Roughly chop the celery heart, peel and trim the carrots and trim the leeks. Peel the garlic, onions and ginger, keeping them whole.
Place into a very large saucepan with the chicken, bay leaves and parsley stalks. Season well with sea salt and black pepper and add enough water to just cover the chicken (about 3 litres).
Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 1 hour.
Remove everything from the pan, leaving only the stock. Throw away the herbs and ginger and once it’s cool enough to touch, shred the chicken.
Bring the stock back to the boil and add a good splash of sherry, the saffron and a splash of ginger vinegar (if using).
Add the pasta and continue to boil until the pasta is al dente.
Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan and simmer over low heat until they are warmed through.
