🥄 Texture

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.

👃 Aroma

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.

🍷 Pairs Well With

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.

🥗 Side Dishes

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.

Instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Add the saumon en pavé (salmon cubes) to the vegetables and cook gently for 3-4 minutes until the salmon is nearly cooked through.

  7. 7

    Add the crevettes (shrimp) to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  8. 8

    Pour the sauce tomates into the skillet and stir well. Add the cooked poulet back to the pan.

  9. 9

    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.

  10. 10

    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.

  11. 11

    Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing all flavors to meld together.

  12. 12

    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.

  13. 13

    Divide the pasta among serving bowls and serve immediately while hot.
