Bring a #medium pot{} of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and slice @button mushrooms{8%oz} into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Trim and thinly slice @scallions{2%stalks}, separating whites from greens.

Once water is boiling, add @penne pasta{4%oz} to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente ~{10%minutes}. Reserve ¾ cup pasta cooking water, then drain.

While pasta cooks, trim, peel, and thinly slice @carrot{1%medium} on a diagonal. Add to a #medium bowl{} along with @mixed greens{2%cups}, @sugar{1%tsp}, and a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tsp}. Set aside, waiting to toss until ready to serve.

Heat a large drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned ~{5%minutes}. Add scallion whites; cook until slightly softened and mushrooms are slightly crisp ~{3%minutes} more. Reduce heat under pan to medium. Season with @salt{0.5%tsp} and @black pepper{0.25%tsp}.

Stir in @cream cheese{2%tbsp}, @sour cream{2%tbsp}, and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water. Add @truffle seasoning{1%tsp} to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in penne, another ¼ cup pasta cooking water, and @butter{1%tbsp}. Add half the @parmesan cheese{2%tbsp}; stir until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

Add @croutons{1%cup} to bowl with salad; toss with @italian dressing{2%tbsp}. Divide between plates. Divide pasta between bowls and sprinkle with scallion greens and remaining parmesan. Garnish with any remaining truffle seasoning to taste if desired and serve.
