  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel and halve shallot. Slice halves into thin strips.

    Mince garlic.

    Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.

    Halve tomatoes.

    Stem and coarsely chop oregano.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shallot and half the garlic (reserve remaining for bread) to hot pan and cook until soft and aromatic, 1 minute.

    Add mushrooms and stir occasionally until beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes.

    Add tomatoes, oregano, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper and stir occasionally until softened, 2-3 minutes.

    Transfer vegetables to a plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  3. 3

    Make the Cream Sauce

    Return pan used to cook vegetables to low heat. Add cream to hot pan and bring to a gentle simmer.

    Add Parmesan (reserve a pinch for garnish) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir constantly until thickened, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While sauce cooks, cook pasta.

  4. 4

    Cook the Penne

    Add pasta to boiling water and cook until al dente, 10-12 minutes.

    Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander and return to pot.

    Add cream sauce and vegetables to pot and stir until thoroughly combined.

    If sauce is too dry, add reserved pasta water 1 Tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached.

    While pasta cooks, toast baguette.

  5. 5

    Halve baguette and place on prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with 1 tsp. olive oil and top with remaining garlic, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.
