The pasta is al dente and coated in a silky, creamy tomato sauce, while the chicken pieces have a light golden crust and tender interior. Salmon flakes softly and shrimp remain firm and springy, contrasted by crisp-tender zucchini and broccoli for a varied, satisfying bite.
A warm garlicky tomato aroma with bright herbal notes of oregano and basil rises from the pan, accompanied by savory marine scents from the salmon and shrimp. A gentle creamy/ buttery note rounds out the nose, creating an inviting, comfort-food bouquet.
Pair with a crisp, high-acid white wine such as Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, or a dry Sauvignon Blanc to cut through the cream and complement the seafood; a light unoaked Chardonnay or a chilled Prosecco are also good options. For a non-alcoholic choice, sparkling water with a lemon twist or a cold herbal iced tea (mint or lemon verbena) is refreshing.
A simple arugula or mixed-green salad with lemon vinaigrette; crusty garlic bread or warm focaccia to mop up the sauce; roasted asparagus or green beans as a light vegetable side. A small antipasto plate of marinated olives and roasted peppers also pairs nicely.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pâtes and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, pat the poulet pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Dust lightly with farine for a light coating.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured poulet pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the courgettes and brocolis to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften but remain slightly crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the saumon en pavé (salmon cubes) to the vegetables and cook gently for 3-4 minutes until the salmon is nearly cooked through.
Add the crevettes (shrimp) to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour the sauce tomates into the skillet and stir well. Add the cooked poulet back to the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche and lait to create a smooth mixture. Slowly pour this into the skillet while stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce.
Add the Italian herbs and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water (1/4 cup at a time) until you reach desired consistency.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked pâtes to the skillet and toss gently to coat all the pasta with the creamy tomato sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Divide the pasta among serving bowls and serve immediately while hot.
