• Coat both sides with the salt and pepper.
• Heat a deep wide saute pan with the olive oil over medium high heat.

• Strain the cream sauce through a fine sieve and discard the solids. Taste and salt if needed. Pour the sauce back into the pan, reserving one cup that will be drizzled over each portion when serving.
• Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips and add to the sauce. Add the liquid that you saved after you cooked the chicken.
• Use a spider or strainer and scoop out and add the pasta to the sauce, but do not discard the pasta water yet.
