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.

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.

RUSTY PENNY (PENNE RUSTICA)



Rusty Penny (Penne Rustica) image

This is similar to the Penne Rustica at Macaroni Grille, but I was very surprised to see the Copycat recipes on Recipezaar and how different they were. This is an easy dish to make and is very good, even if it's not an exact copy of the original. If I'm short on time, I use the precooked Italian Chicken strips and Classico's Tomato Alfredo Sauce instead of the 2 sauces. This recipe is very forgiving if you're short on some of the ingredients.

How to make Romano's Macaroni Grill Penne Rustica by Todd Wilbur

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons marsala wine
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1⁄2 cup milk
1⁄2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 lb penne rigate, cooked
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 skinless chicken breasts
1⁄2 cup about 2 ounces thick-sliced prosciutto, chopped
TOPPING
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 1⁄2 teaspoons paprika
GARNISH
12 sliced pimientos
4 sprigs rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat bbq grill to high.
  • Prepare gratinata sauce by melting 3 tbls of butter over medium/low heat. Add garlic and sweat it for about 5 minutes. Be sure the garlic doesn't brown. Add the marsala wine and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and whisk until smooth. Bring mixture to a simmer and keep it there for 10 minutes or until it's thick. Cover sauce and remove from heat.
  • Cook past following directions on the package (7-9 minutes in boiling water). You want the pasta tender, but not mush (al dente). Strain pasta and set it aside when it's done.
  • Pound the thick end of your chicken breast a bit with a kitchen mallet to make them a uniform thickness. Rub chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle on a bit of salt and pepper. Spear the shrimp on skewers (6 per skewer should work fine), then rub them with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Grill chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side. Grill shrimp for 2 minutes per side. When chicken is done, slice each breast into strips.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Build each dish in a large shallow baking dish. Or you can use a 9 inch glass or ceramic pie plate. Load 3 cups of pasta into each baking dish. Add one quarter of the chicken, 3 shrimp, and 2 tbls of prosciutto onto each serving. Spoon 3/4 of a cup of gratinata sauce on each serving and toss to coat. Combine 3 tbls of grated Parmesan cheese with 1 1/2 tsp paprika, then sprinkle about 1 tbls of this mixture over the top of each serving. Bake the dishes for 10-12 minutes, or until tops begin to brown. Arrange 3 pimentos on the top of each serving, then jab a sprig of rosemary into the center an serve.
  • I do not know the prep time, as I have just received this recipe. if anyone attempts it before me, please edit my guess.
