Best Penne Alla Panna Recipes

TORTELLINI ALLA PANNA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water on the stovetop to a boil. While it heats, add butter to a large skillet set over low-medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and saute for 1 minute.
• Once the garlic is sauted, pour in the cream and add the nutmeg, pepper, basil, and parsley. Stir frequently as the cream heats and begins to thicken. Adjust the temperature as needed so the mixture doesn't reach a boil or bubble too much.
• Once the pot of water is boiling, add the frozen tortellini and cook for 3 minutes, or according to package directions. Add the frozen peas to the pot with the pasta after 2 minutes, so when there's 1 minute remaining of cook time. Once cooked, drain the water and return the tortellini and peas to the pot.
• Add the grated Parmesan to the skillet with sauce in two increments, stirring well after each addition so it melts. Once the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened to your liking, add the cooked tortellini and peas, as well as the sliced prosciutto, and stir to coat. Serve immediately.

PENNE RUSTICA

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.

PENNE CON SALMONE, PISELLI E PANNA RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, bring salted water to a boil, but don't add the pasta until the sauce is done. In a large frying pan, saute cubed salmon in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until cooked through (but do not overcook). Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Either in the same frying pan or in another large one, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and saute onion over medium heat until wilted and transparent. Add cream cheese, grano padano, butter and milk. Occasionally stir until ingredients are well blended together. Add sauted salmon, peas and parsley. Remove from heat, cover and set aside. Add penne to boiling water and cook according to package instructions. In a large serving bowl, toss the pasta and sauce together, then serve immediately. NOTE: You might not use all the sauce. The remainder of the sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for several days in an air tight container. When reheating, add a bit of milk to make it creamy again.
