For the dough, boil 4 cups of water and whisk the flour smooth with the remaining cold water.
Pour the flour mixture into the boiling water in a thin stream and stir constantly for 8 minutes.
Pour the dough into a wet tray and cool at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Boil the chicken breast in salted water for 25 minutes, reserve the broth, and shred the meat.
Fry the tomato paste in butter for 3 minutes and add the red pepper flakes.
Loosen the toasted flour with 1 cup of chicken broth and whisk it into the pot.
Add the remaining chicken broth and shredded chicken, and cook for 20 minutes, until thickened.
Slice the dough with a wet knife and serve the soup hot with lemon and black pepper.
💡 Tip: Do not cut the dough before it cools completely; a wet knife gives clean slices.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the soup with lemon, red pepper flakes, and cold arabasi dough on the same tray.
