Paccheri with potato cream, sausage, and mushrooms is a simple, creamy, and flavorful first course. It can be prepared quickly, in the time it takes to cook the pasta. It’s a comforting and satisfying pasta dish, great in the autumn season if you use seasonal mushrooms, but equally good with frozen mushrooms.
