Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 ounces ground hot Italian sausage
• 24 ounces marinara sauce (I used Orti DItalia)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• salt
• pepper
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces penne pasta
• ½ cup red wine
• ½ cup water
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In an oven proof skillet or pot that has a lid, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 5-7 minutes.
• Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt* and pepper to taste, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the marinara sauce, dried pasta, water, wine and parmesan, stir to combine.
• Cover with a lid and place pan in the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Cover the pasta with the mozzarella cheese, and return to the oven uncovered. Bake for 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted.
• If you want the cheese to get a bit browned, place under the broiler for 1-3 minutes, watching carefully.
