Step 1
Bring a large skillet of salted water to boil. Add penne and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic (1 clove), stirring often, until mushrooms release their liquid and soften, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in white wine, scraping the pan bottom to loosen browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Lower heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream and cooked penne, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water a splash at a time if the sauce feels thick.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Stir in parmesan and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
