First clean the mushrooms: cut off the earthy part of the stem and wipe them with a damp cloth. Then cut them into thin slices lengthwise.
Remove the casing from the sausage and cut the meat into pieces. Brown the garlic in a pan with olive oil, then add the sausage meat.
Brown the sausage over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, then deglaze with white wine.
When the wine has almost completely evaporated, add the mushrooms and a scant half glass of hot water. Continue cooking over medium heat for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water.
When the mushroom and sausage sauce is ready, remove the garlic clove and add the cream. Stir for a few minutes to let the flavors meld, then sprinkle with black pepper and stir again.
Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce while still al dente (always reserve some of the cooking water), then add the grated Parmesan.
Toss the pasta until it reaches a creamy consistency, adding cooking water if necessary.
Serve and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. The creamy pasta with mushrooms and sausage is ready!
