Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground spicy Italian Sausage
  • 5 spicy Italian Sausage Links
  • 12 roughly chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons dried basil leaves
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces Penne Pasta
  • Freshly Shredded Aged Asiago Cheese (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Brown the ground sausage in a large deep pan or large pot for 4 to 5 minutes or until the sausage has cooked through using medium heat. Remove the cooked sausage from the pan. Drain the excess grease from the cooked sausage by placing the sausage on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Add the sausage links to the same pan you used to brown the ground sausage. Brown the sausage on each side cooking the sausage for about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and slice the sausages.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute, until softened.
  • Next, make the sauce. Place the remaining ingredients and sausage into the pan. Stir, then salt and pepper the sauce to taste.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover the pan and cook the sauce on low for 30 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta according to the pasta's box directions.
  • Once the sauce has cooked, toss the cooked drained pasta in the sauce.
  • Serve this pasta with the shredded Asiago Cheese as a garnish for a additional layer of great flavors.
