Step 1
Boil penne in salted water until al dente, ~10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Brown sausage, breaking into chunks, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Add mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until golden, ~4 minutes. Stir occasionally until liquid from mushrooms evaporates.
Step 4
Pour cream into the skillet. Simmer gently for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Add cooked penne and Parmesan to the cream sauce. Toss gently, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time until silky.
Step 6
Toss salad greens with a squeeze of lemon juice and pinch of salt. Plate pasta, garnish with parsley, and serve with salad.
