Ingredients for Sausage and Mushroom Penne Gratin

  • 450g dried penne

  • 450g bulk sweet Italian sausage

  • 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva, divididas

  • 450g packaged sliced mushrooms

  • 1 garlic clove, forced through a garlic press

  • 240ml de nata doble

  • 120ml grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

  • 230g shredded whole-milk mozzarella, divided

Cook penne in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 5.7L water) until al dente. Reserve 120ml pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta and transfer to a flameproof 3-quart baking dish.

Precalienta la parrilla.

Meanwhile, cook sausage in 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces, until no longer pink. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl, leaving fat in skillet.

Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet along with mushrooms and garlic, then cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden, about 3 minutes.

Return sausage to skillet along with cream, reserved 120ml cooking water, a rounded 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and boil over high heat, stirring once or twice, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Pour over pasta, then stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, 80g mozzarella, and salt to taste. Spread evenly in baking dish and top with remaining mozzarella.

Grill 3 to 4 inches from heat until golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes.
