This recipe is from an LCBO brochure and adapated from an original Anne Lindsay recipe (for the Heart & Stroke Foundation). It was very easy to make. I had everything ready before Steve had even finished BBQ the sausages!

• 500g Italian sausage (we used Fresh Creations turkey/chicken with roasted red pepper. Each one is 100g with 130 Cal)
• 500g of penne (or something similar)
• 1 tsp vegetable oil (for saute)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
• 2 tsp basil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1. Cook the sausage (we did 12 min on the BBQ at 400F). Cut into thin round slices.
2. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender but firm. Drain and return to pot.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat oil and saute the onion until tender (about 5 min).  Add garlic, can of tomatoes and spices. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 min. Add sausage. Pour over pasta and mix. Sprinkle with parsley and top with Parmesan (optional). Serves 6.
