6 servings

1 (12 ounce) package dry penne pasta

1 pound mild Italian sausage

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup white wine

2 teaspoons olive oil

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

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.

Place sausage and onion in a large, deep skillet.

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.
