Sausage and Mushroom Penne Gratin

One of the easiest meals to prepare for a family or large gathering is a simple pasta dish. Pasta dishes are easy and very inexpensive to prepare and goes a long way. This Sausage and mushroom penne gratin is a great substitute for the standard pasta bake. It is quick to make since you cook everything on the stove top and bake really quick under a broiler to get the brown and bubbly you enjoy from a dish that has baked for a long time in the oven.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir occasionally and breaking into small pieces until brown. Add the sliced mushrooms and remaining oil and cook until mush rooms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant.

Add the cream, chicken stock, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook over high heat until sauce has thickened, about 4-5 minutes. 

Spread evenly over the pasta stirring into the pasta. Season with salt and pepper if needed to taste.
