Instructions
Cook farfalle in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions; reserve one cup pasta water, then drain.
Combine salt, pepper, and paprika. Season chicken with spices, then dredge in flour.
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cut into thin strips, and tent with foil.
Add remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and garlic to pan; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Deglaze pan with wine, scraping up any brown bits; simmer until reduced by half.
Whisk in cream and Parmesan until combined; thin Alfredo to desired consistency with reserved pasta water. Stir in peas and farfalle; season Alfredo with salt and pepper. Serve Alfredo with sliced chicken.
So the peas don’t get overcooked, or turn army green, add them to the Alfredo just before serving.
