Servings: persons

12 ounces Italian sausage
1 lb dry penne pasta
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups of chopped yellow onions
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 1 1/2 cups cremini mushrooms or 1 1/2 cups button mushrooms
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups red wine, preferably Syrah
28 ounces diced tomatoes or 25 ounces pasta sauce
grated parmesan cheese, asiago (optional) or pecorino cheese (optional)

1
Remove casing from sausage and crumble it. Cook in a medium skillet until browned and no trace of pink remains, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels to drain.
2
Cook penne as directed.
3
Wipe skillet clean, return to medium heat and add oil. Saute the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, herbs if desired, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly brown. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by a little more than half, about 10 minutes.
4
Add tomatoes and some of their juice or the pasta sauce and simmer for 8-10 minutes. Add the reserved sausage and heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
5
Drain the pasta and, if desired, return it to the pot, add the sauce and return to low heat for 2-3 minutes. Pass the cheese on the side.
