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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

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

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 pasta 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Romano's Macaroni Grill uses penne pasta for its Vodka Rustica, but you can use any type of short pasta that you like, such as rigatoni, ziti, or fusilli.
  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Use fresh vegetables, good-quality cheese, and a flavorful vodka.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. The Vodka Rustica recipe is a great starting point, but you can adjust it to your own taste. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices.
  • Serve immediately. Vodka Rustica is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Romano's Macaroni Grill's Vodka Rustica is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give Vodka Rustica a try.
