Angel Hair with Chicken and Cherries

I know, huh? When I read this title, I was.....but, then I read on, made my changes (as always denoted by asterisks), and am sharing it with you:
(4 servings)

8 oz. uncooked multigrain angel hair pasta
1/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs*, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 T. cornstarch
1/2 t. Kosher* salt
1/8 t. freshly ground* white* pepper
1 T. EVOO
1 pkg. fresh baby spinach, stems removed*
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
1/4 cup shaved* Parmesan
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch, S&P. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over med.-high heat. Add chicken mixture; cook and stir until no longer pink. Stir in spinach and cherries; cook 3-4 mins. longer or until spinach is wilted. 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. Place pasta on a large serving dish, and top with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan and nuts. A warm loaf of garlic bread would be fab. with this!
