Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside. Tip: Salting the water well seasons the pasta from within.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
4. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are opaque, then transfer to a plate.
5. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for 2 minutes to warm through.
7. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until the cheese melts smoothly. Tip: Taking it off the heat prevents the cheese from clumping.
9. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, seafood, and sauce mixture, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
10. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Tip: For extra browning, broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
12. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before sprinkling with fresh parsley.
Wondrously creamy with a satisfying crunch from the baked cheese topping, this casserole delivers a briny-sweet punch from the seafood balanced by the earthy artichokes. Serve it straight from the dish with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a meal that feels fancy without the fuss.

For the Bake:
– 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed

For the Sauce and Topping:

– Salt and black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. Add 1 lb Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan—this ensures the sausage gets a nice sear instead of steaming.
4. Add 1 diced yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
5. Stir in 1 can of quartered artichoke hearts and cook for 2 minutes to warm through.

7. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens. Tip: Keep the heat at medium to prevent the cream from curdling.
8. Remove the skillet from the heat and evenly sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Tip: For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, but watch closely to avoid burning.
