Ingredients

  • 1 pound rigatoni or other tubular pasta
  • 1 pound bulk mild Italian sausage
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms diced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups reserved pasta water will not need it all
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cup Pecorino Romano grated

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water (2 tablespoons kosher salt) to a boil.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sausage, and brown the sausage (5-7 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms to the pan and cook until browned.
  • Add diced onion and garlic to the pan. After 2 minutes, remove and discard the garlic. Cook until onions are soft.
  • Increase heat to medium-high, add white wine, and cook until reduced by half, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Begin cooking pasta until just shy of al dente.
  • Add heavy cream to the pan, bring to a simmer while stirring, then reduce heat to low.
  • Add the almost al dente pasta to the sauce, mixing to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is perfectly al dente.
  • Turn off the heat, remove the pan, and stir in grated Pecorino. Season with black pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, and salt to taste.
  • Serve with extra grated Pecorino. Enjoy!
