Chicken and Macaroni

Boil a chicken in the usual manner. Take half a pound of pipe macaroni, and boil it in water with a lump of butter in it. When it has boiled a quarter of an hour, drain it, and substitute milk for the water, with a large onion stuck with cloves, and a little salt and pepper. Boil until the macaroni is tender but unbroken, then grate over it a quarter of a pound of Parmesan cheese. Lay the chicken, which ought to be just cooked, on a dish, put the macaroni and cheese over it, and serve as hot as possible. Time to boil the macaroni the second time, half an hour; to boil the chicken, half an hour. Sufficient for four persons. Probable cost, chicken, 2s. 6d.
