I love a good pasta dinner! Especially when the weather is turning cool, it's a warming dinner to have. Chicken & Mushrooms w/Goat Cheese Pasta is filling, quick to the table, and incredibly tasty.

Instructions
Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to package directions, reserving a bit of the water in the end.
Season the flour with salt and pepper and coat the chicken lightly with it. Saute in a neutral oil, such as avocado, until golden. Hold in a warm (200°F) oven while you finish the rest of the dish.
In the same skillet as you cooked the chicken, add a little more oil and the shallots. Saute 1-2 minutes then add the mushrooms. Add more oil, if needed. Cook 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely golden.
Pour the Marsala into the skillet and let it reduce by about half.
Crumble the goat cheese over a large platter or pasta bowl. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. When the pasta is done, put it on the goat cheese and stir to mix, adding some pasta water if needed to keep the pasta loose.
To serve, place the chicken pieces on top of the pasta, and spoon the mushrooms in the center, allowing the sauce to mix with the pasta.
