This was adapted from Marcella Hazan's Marcella Cucina. It was
delicious. I used one of the mystery chiles from the Bowers Festival
haul and it was quite good. Even DH loved it. I obviously didn't get
enough chiles at the festival. DH thought I was nuts for eating more of
them. They are addictive!

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      6 oz pkg      goat cheese -- softened a bit
     1/4  cup           extra-virgin olive oil
   2      tbsp          fresh chives -- chopped
   1                    chile pepper -- chopped to taste
                        salt -- to taste
   1      lb            dried pasta of your choice

In a small bowl, combine the cheese, oil, chives, chile and salt and mix
well with a fork until smooth and thoroughly combined.

Cook the pasta and drain it, pouring some of the water into a serving
bowl. Swirl the water around the bowl to warm it, pour out all but 1
tbsp of water. The water will help the sauce, which is rather dry to
coat the pasta more uniformly.

Immediately place the drained pasta in the bowl, add the goat cheese
mixture and toss thoroughly to spread the sauce and coat the pasta
strands well. Serve at once. No additional cheese is required.
