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.

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

We’re getting some crazy winter weather. It’s We’re getting some crazy winter weather. It’s cold, rainy & even hailing. Craving for something comforting, then I’m reminded of this Hong Kong Style Macaroni Soup w/ Ham. Light chicken broth w/ macaroni & ham. Ready in under 20 minutes. Brings me right back to Hong Kong!🍲

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!
