Pasta with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

1 envelope (0.9 ounce) garlic-mushroom recipe soup mix
2 cups water
1 box (1 pound) penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 T "The Best Hot Barbeque Sauce You'll Ever Taste"
1 small sweet red pepper, sliced
1 1/2 pounds assorted pre-sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Whisk together soup mix and water in medium-size bowl; set aside.

Meanwhile heat oil in large skillet. Add sweet pepper and mushrooms; sauté until partially tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in soup mixture.

Drain the pasta well; transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Add mushroom sauce, barbecue sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan; toss to mix well. Serve the pasta immediately
