Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat oven to 375°F. Cook the pasta in the boiling water, removing it two to three minutes less than the recommended cooking time. It should still retain a slightly raw bite in the center. Reserve a small cup of pasta water, drain, and return pasta to the pot. Toss the pasta with the mushroom and sausage sauce. If the sauce is very thick add about 1/4 cup of the pasta water to loosen.
