Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

- Sprinkle mushrooms with flour and stir to coat. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle some rosemary and thyme into your hand and crush herbs to release the oil. Add them to the pot on top of the mushrooms and stir. Add a grind of salt and pepper. Stir and taste.
- Pour heavy cream into the simmering pot and stir to combine. Let it cook and bubble up for a few moments, then mix in cream cheese and stir until cream cheese has melted. Taste. Remove pot from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese if the mixture needs a little more salt.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for ripe, flavorful tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, and high-quality cream.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the mushrooms and tomatoes, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, they will steam instead of brown.
- Cook the mushrooms and tomatoes until they are soft and flavorful: This will take some time, but it is worth it. The longer you cook them, the more flavor they will develop.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality cream. Heavy cream or crème fraîche will work well.
- Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
