Ingredients

• 8 oz. uncooked multigrain angel hair pasta
• 3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 pkg. (6 oz.) fresh baby spinach
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
• 1/4 pine nuts, toasted

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch, salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken mixture; cook and stir until no longer pink. Stir in spinach and cherries; cook 3 to4 minutes longer or until spinach is wilted.

3. Drain pasta, reserving 3/4 cup pasta water. Place pasta in a large bowl; sprinkle with nutmeg and toss to combine, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten pasta. Serve with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and nuts.
