The combination of fresh garlic and sautéed mushrooms provides a deep, umami base that perfectly complements the seasoned minced meat. Serve this homemade gratin straight from the oven with a crisp green salad or some steamed tenderstem broccoli for a balanced and hearty evening meal that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients for Sausage and Mushroom Penne Gratin

450g dried penne
450g bulk sweet Italian sausage
2 matskedar olivolja, delad
450g packaged sliced mushrooms
1 garlic clove, forced through a garlic press
240 ml vispgrädde

How to make Sausage and Mushroom Penne Gratin

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.

Förvärm grillen.

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.
