Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook until al dente, ~11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, ~6 minutes.
Step 3
Add shallot and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are golden and tender, ~5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in wine and scrape up browned bits from the pan bottom. Simmer until liquid reduces by half, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in cream and parmesan. Heat through until sauce is silky, ~1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Add drained penne to the skillet. Toss gently, adding pasta water a splash at a time if sauce feels too thick. Serve immediately.
