Add all ingredients, except the pasta, to a pan and bring to the boil

2 chicken legs
1 carrot, peeled, topped and tailed
1 onion, peeled
1 leek, white part only
100g of butternut squash, peeled
1 bay leaf
1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 tsp salt
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1000ml of chicken stock, or water to cover

As it boils, skim off any impurities with a ladle. Reduce the heat, cover, and leave to simmer for approximately 1 hour

Once the chicken is cooked through and beginning to fall off the bone, remove the pan from the heat. Remove the legs and place in a tray or bowl to cool

Strain the liquid from the pan into a clean pan and reserve
