Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb penne rigate or another pasta of your choice
1 lb sausage rope or links are both ok
3 cloves garlic chopped or minced
2 cup broccoli florets
1 cup zucchini chopped
1 cup bell peppers chopped
28 oz whole peeled tomatoes broken apart with your hands in a bowl
1 cup white wine dry, crisp
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh basil chopped
salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Instructions

Put up a bot of salted water in a pasta pot and start boiling. Cook the pasta to al dente, drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium and add the sausage to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes and then flip to the other side and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the sausage is cooked through. Let sit for at least 5 minutes then break apart into small pieces.
Add another 2 tbsp of olive oil to the same pan and add your garlic. Cook until fragrant - about 30 seconds. Add all the vegetables and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to get soft.
Add the tomatoes, wine, chicken broth, and basil and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once boiling, simmer for about 10 minutes until you reach your desired consistency (we'll be adding the pasta to the sauce, which will soak up some of the liquid so try and keep the sauce a little more on the liquidy side for now).
Add the sausage and heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
Add the pasta to the sauce and mix thoroughly and cook for about 2 minutes until the pasta is heated up.

Notes

Serve hot in a bowl with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese (if desired). Enjoy!
