Penne With Pancetta And Mushrooms

• 1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
• 1 (3 ounce) package pancetta bacon, diced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 (10 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, cook pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
2. Pour pancetta grease out of the skillet, and add butter. Increase heat to medium-high and stir in sliced mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms have softened and released their liquid. Add the minced garlic, and cook 2 more minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, then stir in cream and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly.
3. To serve, toss the cooked penne with the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
