Make the Basic Pasta recipe. Roll out and cut into two-inch squares. Take one square and place a dollop of goat cheese in center. Cover with a second square. Brush edges with water and press together with fingers or a fork.

In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter and add chunked chicken breast. While chicken breast is cooking, add minced garlic. After about five minutes, add broth and cook additional five minutes.

Fill a large saucepan with water. Sprinkle salt in and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring to a rolling boil. While water is boiling, add into the pan with chicken the spinach, tomatoes and chopped pecans. Cook on low.

In a small sauté pan, make the Butter and Sage Sauce.

Add pasta to water and cook for 3–4 minutes. Drain and add immediately into the pan with the chicken. Add sage butter sauce and “ciao” down!
