Penne With Chicken, Prosciutto, Artichoke and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

I made this recipe because I love a similar dish at Macaroni Grill. This dish is in a creamy, delightfully heavy sauce made with Parmesan cheese flavored with rosemary and thyme. I've kept it simple with pre-cooked chicken so after you've impressed the pants off of your boyfriend, you'll have plenty of time left to figure out what to do with him!

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons marsala wine
1 pint heavy cream
6 ounces parmesan-romano cheese mix
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 ounces prosciutto, chopped
1 (6 ounce) package grilled chicken breast strips
8 -10 large shrimp, raw

Steps:

  • Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 30 minutes (while cooking sauce).
  • Drain, and slice into thin strips.
  • Prepare sauce by melting butter in a large saucepan over medium/low heat. Add garlic and cook slowly until it just starts to brown. Add the prosciutto & shrimp and turn heat to high. Saute till meat is crisp and shrimp are browned. Spoon out shrimp; and add the Marsala and cook until sauce reduces by half. Add ingredients up to (including) cayenne pepper. Whisk until smooth, simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
  • Add the cooked shrimp, chicken, artichokes and sun dried tomatoes to the sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 500º. Pour into a 9 x 13 dish (or other very large shallow dish). Sprinkle with remaining cheese and paprika. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until top is lightly browned.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less prosciutto next time.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender and flavorful, the prosciutto added a nice salty touch, and the artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes gave it a bright, tangy flavor. I will definitely be making this again soon!
