Linguine with Marsala Cream Sauce

November 12, 2013 By Lokness 12 Comments

Linguine with Marsala Cream Sauce 2

Pasta wasn’t Bryan’s kind of food. He didn’t like pasta and he never really wanted to eat them. I figured out that it may have something to do with the tomatoes and mild flavors. Since Bryan doesn’t like tomatoes, tomatoes sauce based pasta won’t make Bryan happy for sure. And some of pasta sauces are on the light and mild side, that wouldn’t satisfied Bryan either. But there is the cream based sauce, which is hearty and rich. This Marsala cream sauce was extraordinary. The Marsala wine gave the sauce a sweet note. The mushrooms made it earthy. The cream made it rich. With your favorite pasta, this dish is irresistible. Even Bryan loves this, I urge you to try this tonight.

After you make this, you can use the Marsala wine for Tiramisu! And yes, I would use the leftover bottle just for Tiramisu. 😀

Linguine with Marsala Cream Sauce

Linguine with Mushroom Marsala Cream Sauce (Adapted from Annie’s Eats)

2 – 3 servings

Ingredients:

–   8 ounces linguine or any pasta

–   1 skinless chicken breast (about ½ pound, cut into ½-inch dices)

–   ½ medium yellow onion (cut into small dices)

–   5 ounces baby bella mushrooms

–   3 gloves garlic (minced)

–   2 tablespoons dry white wine

–   ¼ cup sweet Marsala wine

–   ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth

–   ¾ cup half and half (half heavy cream and half milk)

–   1 tablespoon fresh basil (minced)

–   2 teaspoons fresh parsley (minced)

–   ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

–   olive oil

–   salt

–   ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. For the mushrooms, wipe clean with paper towel. Slice the mushrooms and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water (salted) to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water. Set aside.
  3. In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 – 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl and set aside.
  4. In the same pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until brown and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from heat and add the wines, scraping with a wooden spoon to deglaze the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken broth. Return the pan to the heat. When the liquid is boiling, reduce to medium heat. Continue to simmer until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Stir in the half and half and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the basil, parsley, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and toss with the sauce for 2 minutes. Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan.

Tips:

  1. Sweet Marsala wine is the same wine that I used for Tiramisu.
  2. The pasta sauce may look a bit runny when plating, but it would thicken up a bit.

    I just stumbled upon your blog while i was visiting another food blog. I happened to have some leftover marsala wine from making chicken marsala the other day. The linguine dish sounds a perfect way to finish up the bottle. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Just one comment….why would you ever rinse pasta under water? You wash away all the flavor and starch of the pasta. YOu only rinse cooked pasta if your using it for a cold salad. Liked the cream sauce though, but would double the amount fore sauce for the pasta.

      Thank you for your comment. I agree with you. This recipe was created a few years ago. If I am cooking this today, I wouldn’t rinse the pasta. But happy to hear you enjoyed the sauce.

Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing Have you been to @trejostacos? Other than amazing tacos, we love their cheesy bean dip. This is my copycat version of that dip. Looks ordinary, but layers with flavors! Creamy, savory, cheesy, little sweet & little citrusy. Give me a bowl of this dip & a bag of tortilla chips, I’ll be happy for a long time! Also, this dip can be made ahead. Just reheat & serve when ready.

Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Eton Mess w/ Strawberry, Mandarin Orange & Lemon. Crunchy meringue cookies, fresh strawberries, sweet whipped cream, & my homemade tangy mandarin-orange lemon curd from last week. You can make most of these components ahead of time, just macerate the strawberries & whip the cream at the last minute. This is the spring dessert I want every year from now on! 🌸

Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn G Guys, this Mandarin Orange-Lemon Curd is so damn GOOD! You need this in your life!🍊🍋 First, you get the taste of Mandarin oranges. Sweet & floral. Then you get a little tanginess from the lemon. It’s creamy & smooth. I can almost eat this on its own, but I probably shouldn’t.😆 Put this on cupcakes, macarons, pavlova, yogurt, pancakes or anything you want. Best thing is that it only takes 15 mins to make!

On this day one year ago, California was officiall On this day one year ago, California was officially placed in lockdown. Offices, schools and shops were closed; restaurants only allowed takeout; shelves were empty at grocery stores. It was a scary time and still is today.  Oh, we were so naive thinking the lockdown was going to be for a short time!🤦🏻‍♀️

But good news is that there is hope in sight! Bryan & I were chatting w/ friends that this could be over in 2 or 3 months, max (SARS in Hong Kong lasted for about 2 months in 2003).

Infection numbers are down. Vaccines are here. I’m hoping that we’ll get our Fauci Ouchie soon. Dining out, traveling & hanging out with friends sound like the BEST things in 2021!

Hope you’re all healthy & hanging in there. My heart is with those who’re still recovering and have lost a loved one. You’re not forgotten.💕💕💕
It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Bur It’s Friday junor! Time for a cocktail. This Burnt Mandarin Orange Gin & Tonic is an easy twist from a classic. How to make burnt oranges? Just sprinkle some sugar & torch with a blow torch. It’s just like making creme brûlée. That adds a really nice layer of flavors to the cocktail!
