Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a small bowl combine mushrooms and green onions; set aside.
Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove skins from hazelnuts by rubbing between your palms or rubbing with a cloth or dish towel. Set aside.
Place garlic, ginger, spinach, cilantro, basil, whipping cream, rice wine, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, chile sauce and salt into a food processor and process until well blended. Refrigerate.
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and cook pasta until lightly firm to the bite. Drain.
Place a wok over high heat. When wok is very hot, add oil and roll oil around in pan until it gives off a wisp of smoke. Add mushrooms and green onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add sauce, pasta, chicken and hazelnuts. Stir and toss until all ingredients are coated with sauce. Adjust seasonings and serve immediately.
