• 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
  
• 2 TBL dried basil
  
• 2 tsp fresh oregano
  
• 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
  
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
  
• 3 cups canned crushed tomatoes with added puree

Instructions



1. Sauté crumbled sausage in large pot over medium-high heat until brown, about 12 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl and set aside.
   
2. Add oil to drippings in pot. Add mushrooms and onions; sauté until tender and brown, about 15 minutes.
   
3. Stir in basil, oregano, and garlic; sauté 1 minute.
   
4. Add wine; cook until almost absorbed, about 4 minutes.
   
5. Add sausage and crushed tomatoes; cover and simmer over medium heat until thickened, about 25 minutes.
   
   
6. Add tomato paste and let simmer until thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
   
7. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing.)
   
8. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well; return to pot.
   
9. Pour sauce over pasta; toss to coat. Add 1/2 cup cheese and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to serving dish.
   
10. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and serve.
