Method

1. 01

   Cut 680 g boneless skinless chicken breast into even pieces, dice 200 g zucchini and 140 g red bell pepper, break 300 g broccoli into small florets, slice 226.8 g mushrooms and chop 120 g onion and 15 g garlic. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for 454 g dry farfalle; season with part of the measured 5 g salt. Cook the pasta according to its packet, about 11–13 minutes until just tender. Reserve 120 ml starchy cooking water before draining; discard any portion not needed. The estimate does not separately measure the small amount of starch that may be in this water.

2. 02

   In a wide pan heat 14 g of the measured butter and 30 ml of the measured olive oil. Season chicken with some of the remaining salt and 0.5 g black pepper, then sear in batches until the thickest pieces reach 74°C; move to a clean plate to rest. In the same pan add the remaining 14 g butter and 15 ml olive oil. Stir-fry onion, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, bell pepper and 1 g chili flakes for about 6–8 minutes until tender but not mushy. Add garlic for the last minute.

3. 03

   Add 120 ml white wine and simmer about 3 minutes until reduced by roughly half. Pour in 120 ml whole milk, 120 ml heavy cream and up to the reserved 120 ml pasta water; simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until lightly thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in 100 g grated Parmesan, then fold in the drained farfalle and cooked chicken. Loosen only with more of the reserved water if needed; taste for salt without adding unmeasured seasoning. Scatter 10 g chopped parsley over five substantial servings. The listed nutrition counts all measured pasta, cheese, dairy and wine; any alcohol remaining after simmering is not quantified.
