Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • ½ Yellow Onion fine chopped
  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 pint Baby Bella Mushrooms roughly chopped
  • 2 lb Italian Sausage removed from casing, if necessary
  • 1½ lb Medium Pasta Shells or any short pasta
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 cups Milk
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • Parsley for garnish, if desired

Instructions
 

  • In your largest saute pan over medium high heat, add oil, onions and garlic. Saute about 3 minutes. Add butter and let melt, then add mushrooms. Saute about 5 minutes then add sausage chunks. Cook for about 5 minutes. Then reduce heat to medium.
  • Add pasta, milk, broth, and seasonings. Add enough water to fully submerge everything. Bring just to a bubble, then cover pan and let cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove lid and add heavy cream and cheese. Stir until fully combined. Let cook another 5 minutes. Then let rest away from heat for 5 minutes before serving (sauce will thicken up.) Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
