Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil penne in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Step 2

    In a large skillet over medium-high, brown sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add mushrooms and shallot; sauté until mushrooms soften and release their liquid, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add cream and stir until smooth. Fold in cooked pasta and Parmesan; toss until silky, adding pasta water if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and season with salt and pepper. Plate and scatter parsley over the top.
