Grilled Chicken Tuscana Pasta

Valentines Day is approaching and I just feel so in love... so in love with myself, my family, my life, my friends. Everything I'm currently creating in the kitchen is with love in mind. This pasta is rich, flavorful, passionate. It has a few depths of flavor and it's guaranteed to make you feel good. I've made this pasta with salmon, shrimp, and even steak. It's my winter-go to.

For the noodles, I used lasgana noodles and sliced them once cooked to give this pasta texture and body. And damn.... doesn't it look good on the plate?
