Ingredients

1 pound penne pasta

1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, diced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 cups marinara sauce

1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until slightly smoking, and add the sausage meat. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a fork as it cooks. Add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the mascarpone cheese, milk, and chopped parsley. Stir to mix well, and continue to cook until the mixture is thick, about five minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
