Penne Pasta with Pork and Mushrooms

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and brown slightly, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Pour in chicken broth and cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Return the cooked pork to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs to taste.

Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.

Serve the penne pasta with pork and mushrooms hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
