Penne with Sausage and Tomato Sauce

Ingredients for Penne with Sausage and Tomato Sauce

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 450g sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, then discarded

• 1 red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced lengthwise

• 120ml dry white wine

• 1 (28- to 900g ) can whole tomatoes in juice

• 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

• 450g penne

• 30g finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (120ml ) plus additional for serving

Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add sausage meat and cook, stirring to break up large chunks, until meat is browned and just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to a bowl using a slotted spoon and add pepper and garlic to fat in skillet. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, stirring occasionally, until pepper is just tender and garlic is golden, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add wine and sausage and simmer, scraping up brown bits on bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.

Add tomatoes with their juice and black pepper and simmer, breaking up tomatoes with spoon, until sauce is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.

While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 120ml pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander and return to pot. Add sauce and cheese to pasta and toss to coat. Add cooking water if necessary to moisten. Season pasta with salt and pepper and serve with additional cheese.
