On most nights, a bowl of creamy pasta with savory mushrooms is perhaps the best thing ever. This heavenly dish starts with al dente penne pasta covered with a Parmesan cream sauce. It's topped with said mushrooms, sautéed shallots, and tomatoes. This dish is an elegant reminder that elevated comfort food doesn't have to take a lot of time.

Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using Impossible burger, break up until burger is heated through, 4-6 minutes. If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary, and break up until sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, separate pieces, and stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add to pasta as desired.
