Penne With Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, And Pumpkin Sauce

Penne With Italian Sausage, Mushrooms, And Pumpkin Sauce


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.

2. Place mushrooms in a bowl and add enough water to cover; set aside until mushrooms have rehydrated. Drain water from mushrooms and reserve water.

3. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly and slice on the diagonal.

4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add sage and nutmeg and stir. Transfer onion mixture to a bowl and add sausage. Mix pumpkin, Gruyere cheese, cream, water from mushrooms, salt, and pepper into onion mixture.

5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain and mix pasta into pumpkin sauce. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and top with Parmesan cheese. Cover dish with aluminum foil.

6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 30 minutes.
