While the pasta is cooking, brown the sausage with the garlic and mushrooms over medium heat until the sausage is cooked through. Soak up any excess grease from the sausage with a paper towel, but there won't be much with the low-fat sausage.
Turn heat down slightly and add cream and tomatoes and continue to cook for a minute or two. When pasta is done add to the sausage and toss till well combined. Remove from heat.
Top with Parmesan cheese and serve.
