ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL PENNE RUSTICA



Romano's Macaroni Grill Penne Rustica image

The sauce is the key to this recipe....HEAVY CREAM, PARMESAN CHEESE, WINE, etc. with CHICKEN & SHRIMP, cooking the penne pasta is the easy part. This recipe makes an ample amount, and too tricky for me to attempt to scale it down. I am posting it to take advantage of Recipezaar's calculations to reduce a recipe. I'm not sure how much this recipe feeds, but I am going to guess at 8-10 servings.

Provided by Star40852

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound penne pasta
½ pound cooked small shrimp
½ cup chopped prosciutto
2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste
2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons Marsala wine
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup milk
½ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ teaspoons paprika

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl; mix in shrimp and prosciutto.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Brush olive oil over chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 5 minutes per side. Cool briefly before slicing into strips. Add to the penne mixture.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Prepare the sauce by melting butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic, cover, and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in Marsala wine and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, milk, chicken broth, cornstarch, mustard, rosemary, thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over the penne mixture and mix well. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and paprika over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top slightly browns, 10 to 12 minutes.

POLLO LIMONE RUSTICA



Pollo Limone Rustica image

I was obsessed with this dish from Macaroni Grille when I was pregnant. This is the closest I could come to recreating it at home so it didn't cost so much! This is also great without the chicken. Make totally vegetarian by substituting veggie broth for the chicken broth! I have also used fat free half and half for the heavy cream with decent results but in order to make the dish as rich and creamy as they do, you need to use the heavy cream.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS RUSTICA



Sausage and Peppers Rustica image

I developed this recipe from a series of copycat recipes I've used modeled after Olive Garden's recipe of the same name. It is DELICIOUS!! Everybody I have ever fed it to loves it, and in the unlikely event of leftovers, they are just as good the next day! Hope somebody out there sees this and uses it... one of my favorites!

Provided by Liz Beginner Cook

Categories     Penne

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb hot Italian sausage link (I prefer Premio's brand, or Cifelli's)
1 (16 ounce) box penne pasta
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 medium onion
2 (24 ounce) jars marinara sauce, the plainer the better
1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Brown sausages over Medium Heat in lightly oiled large frying pan. Once sausages are browned, cut into discs and cook each side until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cut up the peppers and onion, julienne style. Add to cooked sausages in the pan.
  • Lightly salt this mixture, continue cooking over Medium heat until vegetables are softened.
  • Add marinara sauce, cover and cook for at least twenty minutes on Low. For best results, cook on low for a few hours, stirring occasionally (this incorporates all the flavors of the sausage and peppers into the sauce).
  • Meanwhile, cook penne pasta al dente. Drain, add to sauce mixture.
  • Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, mix thoroughly and serve.
  • ** This will be a very saucy mixture, I like that for dipping bread! If you prefer less sauce, use about 36 oz sauce, or pour out some sauce prior to adding the pasta in the final step -- it will be a delicious snack at some point! **.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality Parmesan cheese.
  • If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a paring knife to remove the pits.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. This will prevent it from browning evenly.
  • Be sure to cook the penne al dente, according to the package directions.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil.
  • Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and basil.

Conclusion:

This rusty penny penne rustica is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's packed with flavor. The combination of sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula is delicious, and the pasta is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
