Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat.

Remove from the heat and set aside. Once the water boils, add the pasta. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Add the pasta, water and salt to the chicken, and toss to mix. Add the cheese and mix again.
