Discard the rosemary; shred the chicken with 2 forks.

Cook over medium heat, tossing, until the pasta is well coated, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more cooking water as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Divide among bowls. Drizzle with more olive oil and top with parmesan.
