Step 1
Boil penne in salted water until al dente, ~10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned with no pink, ~6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Step 3
Add sliced mushrooms and minced shallot. Sauté until mushrooms soften and release liquid, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in wine and cream. Scrape up any browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 5
Stir in cooked pasta, parmesan, and reserved pasta water. Toss until creamy and sauce coats noodles, ~1 minute.
Step 6
Taste for salt and pepper. Finish with fresh thyme or parsley. Serve immediately.
