Step 1
Boil penne in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high, brown sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Add mushrooms and shallot; sauté until mushrooms soften and release their liquid, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add cream and stir until smooth. Fold in cooked pasta and Parmesan; toss until silky, adding pasta water if needed.
Step 6
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Plate and scatter parsley over the top.
