Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of four 4-inch-diameter springform pans.
- For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and place in a large bowl. Add the spinach, cheese, oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss well until the spinach is wilted. Set aside to cool.
- For assembly: Beat the Parmesan, milk, salt and egg together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour the sauce over the spaghetti mixture until well combined. Twirl 1/2 cupfuls of the spaghetti mixture around tongs or a large fork and transfer to the prepared pans. Make an indentation in the middle of each nest of pasta and drizzle with olive oil. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before removing the sides from the pans. Remove the bottoms of the pans from the nests using a thin metal spatula.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce on each of 4 serving plates. Place the spaghetti nests on the sauce. Place 3 balls of the mozzarella in each nest and serve.
LOVE NESTS
Always inspired by what I see and read! Hope this SIMPLE recipe your heart, soul and mind it does feed! :) NOTE: I used Barilla Pasta Wholewheat Spaghetti 3 times as much fiber as regular pasta and tastes GREAT too! I broke the ingredients up re Marinara Sauce then method, Bechamel Sauce then method, then ingredients for filling and method. Is NOT that difficult and if you have any questions, PM me :) WHOO HOO! So NOT rinse the pasta! :) ORIGINAL SOURCE: http://whatsonthelist.net/2013/03/22/love-is-in-the-air-love-nests/

Steps:
- Heat deep fry pan then add oil; fry onions for about 3 minutes; add garlic; fry additional 2 minutes until onions are soft.
- Add in tomato paste; stir for about a minute until combined.
- Add in diced tomatoes in tomato juice, bay leaf, anchovies, water, red pepper flakes and xylitol; adjust to personal taste.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 45 minutes.
- In additional fry pan, fry pancetta and chorizo sausage meat until golden brown; add to marinara mixture.
- Marinara done! :).
- In a saucepan, add all bechamel ingredients (except cheese) and stir "continuously" with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens.
- Heat oven to 180°C (350F).
- Place breadcrumbs on a baking tray; bake for 5 minutes (until dry, not browned); remove; set aside.
- In a bowl, combine ricotta and spinach.
- Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water; cook for 7 minutes (al dente); drain; oil spray; set aside for about 10 minutes.
- Place 1/2 cup of cooked pasta into a plastic measuring cup. Place the 1/4 plastic cup inside the cup with pasta. If you don't have plastic measuring cups, you get the idea that the spaghetti needs to be "packed" down tightly; can do by hand while pasta is "in" something.
- QUICKLY, turn measuring cup over onto marinara sauce; be gentle but quick lol You want it so it looks like a mound.
- G-E-N-T-L-Y, with the back of a teaspoon push down on the spaghetti to form a round hold without going through the bottom of the spaghetti. You can stop with the teaspoon fits inside the nest with a bit a room around it too!
- Place 1 - 2 teaspoons of spinach ricotta mixture in the base of the nests. with a spoon (or with your fingers ;-) ) GENTLY push down until it covers the base. You do not want to push too hard that the nest will collapse. ;-).
- Top with 1 -2 teaspoons of bechamel sauce.
- Top with breadcrumbs; can add a few pieces of shredded cheese (optional).
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, thyme and lemon zest. Brown both sides of chicken in pan, about 4 minutes per side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken before removing from pan and put it on a plate until ready to use.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same pan you cooked the chicken in and allow to melt. Add the mushrooms and one teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned. This will take about 8 minutes. Stir in the wine and mustard once the mushrooms have cooked and remove the pan from the heat.
- Unfold each sheet of puff pastry, use a rolling pin to roll the seams flat and then cut each sheet of puff pastry in half. Place two slices of the brie in the center of each piece of puff pastry. Divide the mushroom mixture evenly and place on top of the brie slices. Place chicken breast on top of the mushroom mixture.
