Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausages until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove sausages from skillet, slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds, and return to the skillet.
  3. Cook the sliced sausages for about 7 minutes or until no longer pink inside.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute or until golden.
  5. Add the dry white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid is almost completely absorbed.
  7. Stir in the extra-virgin olive oil and tomato sauce.
  8. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  9. Stir in the chopped fresh basil.
  10. Meanwhile, cook the penne in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 8 minutes, or until tender but firm.
  11. Drain the pasta well.
  12. In a large bowl, toss the drained pasta with the sausage sauce until well coated.
  13. Serve topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

For best flavor, use homemade tomato sauce if available. If using store-bought, choose a high-quality brand with minimal additives.

You can substitute spicy Italian sausage with mild Italian sausage or chicken sausage for a different flavor profile.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to refresh the sauce.
