8 ounces uncooked penne (tube-shaped pasta)
8 ounces hot turkey Italian sausage
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup vertically sliced onion (about 1/2 medium)
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, undrained
1/4 cup dry red wine or fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste with Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2
While pasta cooks, remove casings from sausage. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 2 minutes or until tender. Add sausage; cook 7 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in tomatoes and next 7 ingredients. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Preheat broiler.
4
Drain pasta, and return to pan. Add sauce, and toss gently to coat. Spoon mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil 2 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
5
Salsicce (sahl-SE-chay) is traditionally pork sausage, but we've substituted turkey Italian sausage in this recipe.
