In a skillet over high heat, heat the butter and oil.

Add the sherry to the pan, scraping up any bits. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, allowing the liquid to cook down a bit.
Add the spinach, cream, tomatoes, and sage. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the spinach is slightly wilted and the sauce has thickened a bit. Do not boil.
Add the chicken back to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce.
Add the chicken and sauce to the drained pasta in a large serving bowl. Toss to blend.
