PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 2-3 minutes. Drain, reserve a cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
GRILL THE Chicken
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste the chicken with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
FRAGRANT BUTTER
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat. When hot, toast the chopped pecans until browned, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 15g of butter and the chopped sage, and fry until the butter is golden brown and the sage is crispy. Remove from the heat, pour into a bowl, and cover.
OH-SO-CREAMY SAUCE
Return the pan, wiped down, to low-medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the cream and 50ml of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta and the rinsed Spinach. Stir to combine until the spinach has wilted. Add a splash of water if too thick. Remove from the heat and season.
