- In a large pot bring 6 litres of unsalted water to the boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain well. Place pasta back in the pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Cover and keep warm while the sauce finishes simmering.
- Warm oven-safe dinner plates in a 110 C / Gas 1/4 oven.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Add the garlic and saute until the aromatic oils are released, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped onion and pepper and saute 3 minutes. Add the chicken, thyme, basil, sage, salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the Chardonnay, Burgundy wine and pasta sauce and heat until bubbling. Add the portabello mushrooms and cook until the mixture has reduced and is thick and hot.
- To serve, place two large serving spoonfuls of pasta on each warmed plate and top with a large ladle of the chicken and portabello sauce.

This was divine and really so easy. The only hard part was finding D'Autunno pasta. I eventually just substituted garlic and spinach pasta for it and it worked extremely well. I put the chicken in right after the garlic so it would have a better chance to brown and cook through. - 22 Mar 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The sauce was amazing, a refreshing taste to the regular spagetti sauce. The noodles i didn't do right, so they were a bit 'unusual' i'll have to give them another try. They were beautiful however, just a little more difficult to work with. It was delicious! - 04 Mar 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
