- 1 lb. Lumaconi Pasta Shells
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb. Ground Sweet Italian sausage (remove casing if needed)
- 1 onion chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic chopped finely
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
- 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
- 2 pinches red pepper flakes or more if you like your sauce spicy
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan Cheese for garnish
- In a deep pot sauté two tablespoons olive oil, sausage, onion and garlic cloves, (Tip: put garlic in last, because it will brown quickly) let cook about 2 minutes on medium heat, add red wine (this will deglaze the pan and add depth of flavor) let most of the wine evaporate about 3 – 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper and spices.
- Allow sauce to simmer about 20 – 30 minutes or up to several hours (if you have the time).
- The longer it cooks the better it tastes, well in my opinion anyway.
- Mean time cook pasta according to package - minus one minute for al dente!
- Serve in large pasta dish, add sauce, and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
- As always I recommend a good imported Italian pasta and a good quality Italian sausage. It makes for an amazing dish!

Imported Pasta with Sweet Italian Sausage. The sauce was made from my garden tomatoes and fresh herbs from my garden, but you can substitute canned tomatoes and dried herbs. The secret to any Italian pasta dinner is the pasta itself. I only use a high quality imported pasta. Trust me it makes all the difference!

Imported Pasta with Sweet Italian Sausage. Buying Imported Italian Pasta makes all the difference. I purchased this at Cost Plus Warehouse. It was very good. Paying a little more for something is so worth it, especially when it comes to imported Italian Pasta.
I also recommend investing in some great serving pieces. Like pasta bowls, an over-sized pasta serving dish, and platter. I am always careful to only hand wash imported Italian dishes to prevent the glaze from cracking.
