Chicken Saltimbocca With Spinach Pappardelle - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6-8oz each)
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    8 ounces button mushrooms, halved (quartered if large)
    1/2 cup sweet marsala wine
    1/2 cup beef broth
    2 ounces prosciutto, chopped
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    spinach pappardelle pasta
    8 ounces dry pappardelle noodles (or any wide egg noodles)
    3 cups Baby Spinach
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    salt & pepper
Preparation
    Pound chicken as thin as possible. Saute 2 pieces of chicken in oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until browned, 3-5 minutes. Turn and cook 2 more minutes, then transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Saute remaining chicken in the same manner.
    Cook mushrooms in the saute pan over high heat, 5 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Add additional oil as needed to prevent burning.
    Deglaze with marsala, scraping up any browned bits, then add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
    Off heat, stir in prosciutto, sage, and butter until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper.
    Spinach Pappardelle instructions:
    Bring pot of salted water to a boil for the pappardelle (fettuccine or tagliatelle works good too).
    Cook pasta according to package directions. Place spinach, parmesan, and butter in a large bowl. Drain pasta, add to bowl, and toss to coat and wilt spinach. Season with salt and pepper.
    Serve with chicken and sauce on top.
