Ingredients
- 10.5 oz (300 g) pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (20 g) unsalted butter
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium shallot, finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) dry white wine
- 1 cup (200 ml) heavy cream (double cream)
- 1/2 cup (50 g) Parmesan, grated
- A handful fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of pasta to a boil, salt it and cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve a couple of cups of pasta water before draining.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan or heavy-bottomed pot and melt the butter in it. Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes over medium heat or until cooked to your liking.
3. Stir in the shallot and cook for 1 minute, then add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
4. Next, stir in the Italian seasoning, then deglaze the pot with the dry white wine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
5. Stir in the cream and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens, then add the cooked pasta and toss well to cover in sauce. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if it looks too thick.
6. Add the grated Parmesan and fresh parsley, stir to combine, then season to taste and serve immediately.
