Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (12 ounces) whole-wheat penne, uncooked
- 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup white button mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup trumpet mushrooms
- 1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 12-14 ounces fully cooked smoked turkey sausage, cut into ½-inch half-moon slices
- 1 can sliced black olives, drained
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 jar thick pasta sauce

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Clean all mushrooms. Trim just 1/8-inch stem from trumpet mushrooms and cut into thick slices.
- In a large 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add all sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain liquid.

- Cook 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
- Bake additional 10 to 15 minutes until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted.
