Directions

  1. 1

    Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for about 12 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken and let it rest on a cutting board.

    Add the remaining butter and oil to the skillet. Add the vegetables (except the garlic) and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

    Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and let it reduce by half, about 3 minutes.

    Pour in the milk, heavy cream, and the reserved pasta water. Let it simmer and reduce for 2-3 minutes.

  9. 9

    Turn off the heat and add the grated Parmesan and cooked pasta. Toss gently and season to taste.

    Serve garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan.

💡 Chef's Tip

Always reserve some pasta cooking water to adjust the consistency of the sauce and help it adhere perfectly to the pasta.
