ROMANO'S MACARONI GRILL PENNE RUSTICA
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will be. This is especially true for the pasta, sauce, and cheese.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Make the sauce ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can make the sauce up to 3 days in advance.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses will give the dish different flavors and textures. A good combination is Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta.
- Don't skimp on the toppings: Toppings such as basil, parsley, and red pepper flakes will add flavor and color to the dish.
