Ingredients
1 lb whole wheat penne, cooked according to directions1 tbsp olive oil1 1/2 cup chopped onion3/4 cup chopped red pepper1 12 oz package chicken or turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2" coins2 garlic cloves, minced1 tbsp tomato paste1 tbsp balsamic vinegar1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp dried oregano1/4 tsp red pepper flakes3 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes, undrainedCooking spray1 cup shredded sharp provolone cheese1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook pasta according to directions. Preheat oven to 350F. Heat olive oil in large skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, sausage, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until sausage is browned. Add tomato paste, vinegar, salt, oregano, pepper flakes and tomatoes. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Combine pasta and tomato mixture in a 9x13 baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle cheeses on top. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

*next time we try this we will drain 2 cans of tomatoes and leave 1, and probably use a whole can of tomato paste instead of just the tablespoon. It tends to be somewhat runny, with the cans undrained, but it's very, very good!

    This was seriously so good. I modified it a bit because I'm not a fan of peppers or onions, but it was still completely delish. - 9/18/07
