Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Marsala Pasta
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and sauté mushrooms over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until browned and tender.
- Add minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Deglaze the pan with Marsala wine, scraping up browned bits, and let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, let it simmer in the sauce for a couple of minutes. Adjust sauce thickness with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Toss the drained pasta with the sauce until evenly coated. Heat through for an additional minute.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
