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.
