Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Boil the water

    Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. Cook the tagliatelle

    Drop the tagliatelle into the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 min, following the package. Drain without rinsing.

  3. Prep the chicken

    Peel the garlic and chop it small. Cut the chicken breast into 2 cm cubes.

  4. Brown the chicken

    Melt half the butter in the hot nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and let them brown for 5 min without touching them.

    Tip · Don't stir the chicken while it cooks so it browns nicely and stays tender.

  5. Add the garlic

    Add the chopped garlic to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 1 min, stirring.

  6. Make the sauce

    In a bowl, mix the light crème fraîche with half the grated Parmesan. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  7. Stir in the sauce

    Add the cream and Parmesan mix to the skillet with the chicken. Let it simmer over low heat for 3 min, stirring.

  8. Toss the pasta

    Add the drained tagliatelle to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta.

  9. Serve

    Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan and the chopped fresh parsley. Serve right away.

    Tip · If the sauce is too thick, add 1 to 2 tbsp of pasta water to loosen it.
