Preparing the Ingredients: Start by slicing the sausages into thin pieces. You can slice the onion into half rings, and finely chop the garlic. These preparations are essential for adding flavor to your dish. 2. Frying the Ingredients: Take a large skillet and add one tablespoon of butter. When the butter has melted, add the sausage slices, onion, and garlic. Fry everything on low heat, uncovered, until the onion becomes translucent and the sausages start to brown. Here, you can add the drained canned mushrooms and continue frying. If you like the aroma of wine, add 2-3 tablespoons of white wine now. Continue frying until everything is well cooked and aromatic. 3. Boiling the Penne: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Cook the penne according to the package instructions, usually 8 minutes is sufficient. Once al dente, drain well and add to the sausage and mushroom mixture in the skillet. Mix well to combine the flavors. 4. Preparing the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add the two tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Once melted, remove the skillet from the heat and add the flour, stirring well to avoid lumps. Then, gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Next, add the chopped herbs, vegeta, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce becomes creamy. 5. Combining the Ingredients: Pour the sauce over the penne and sausage mixture, carefully mixing to coat all the pasta. Take a heatproof dish and lightly grease it with butter. Transfer the entire mixture into this dish. 6. Finalizing the Dish: Sprinkle the grated cheese and add a few tablespoons of sour cream on top of the mixture. This step will add a delicious cheesy crust during baking. 7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the dish in the oven and let it bake for 20-30 minutes, until the cheese is golden and melted.
