• 1 tablespoon best quality olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
• 4 peeled and chopped garlic cloves
• 28 ounces can whole tomatoes, chopped (I like San Marzano)
• 28 ounces tomato puree
• handful of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (not in oil pack)
• handful of flat-leafed parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 splash dry red wine
• salt and pepper to taste

• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

1. Cook pasta al dente - drain.
2. Cook sauage until done - drain on paper towels.
3. In a large dutch oven or large casserole dish (I use my biggest Le Creuset), heat olive oil and saute onion, peppers and garlic.
4. Add cooked sauage, pasta, tomatoes, tomato puree, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, s & p, wine and half the Mozzarella.
5. Baked, covered, in a 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Uncover, add remaining Mozzarella, top with parmesan and cook for 10 additional minutes, uncovered.
