How to Make Penne Alla Bolognese Bianco

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, 1 medium carrot, and 2 celery stalks (finely chopped) and sauté for 4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), breaking it apart, and brown until cooked through.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer until almost evaporated.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups beef broth and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Pour 1 1/2 cups into the skillet.
  7. Simmer uncovered until the broth reduces slightly, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Stir in 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced) and the remaining 1/2 cup broth mixture.
  9. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
  10. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and gently fold to combine. Remove from heat and cover.

  12. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water before draining.
  13. Return the drained pasta to the pot.
  14. Pour the sauce over the pasta, add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  15. Toss gently to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
