Step 1
Boil penne in salted water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Add broccoli in the last 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking it apart as it cooks, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add mushroom slices to the skillet. Sauté 3 minutes until golden and liquid evaporates.
Step 4
Pour in cream and 0.5 cup reserved pasta water. Stir in Parmesan until sauce is smooth and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Add penne, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Toss gently until everything is hot and coated, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Serve immediately. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
