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.
