By MJH

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package dry penne pasta
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 pound mild Italian sausage
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with garlic
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

Heat oil in a large, deep skillet.

Place sausage and onion in the skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.

Drain excess fat.

Pour in wine, and cook for 1 minute, stirring, to deglaze the pan.

Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and tomato paste.

Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Toss with cooked pasta, and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Sprinkle top with mozzarella.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
