Ingredients
- 8 ounces linguine or spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 4 ounces Italian sausage removed from casing
- 1 small onion diced
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup half and half or cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup grated romano cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start the water heating for the pasta. Be sure to salt it well. Add the pasta when the water begins to boil and cook for the time indicated on the package.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and saute the sausage and onion until the sausage is brown throughout. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- To the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and mushrooms. Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and cook until wilted and browned.
- Return the sausage and onions to the pan with the mushrooms.
- Slowly add the half and half, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle bubble.
- Gradually add the Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Stir until cheese melt.
- Add the parsley and pepper.
- Add the cooked, lightly drained pasta to the skillet. Stir until well coated.
- Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed.

Notes
- If the sauce appears too thick, stir in a little of the pasta cooking water; conversely, if the sauce seems too thin, cook it for a bit longer to allow it to thicken.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
