Spicy Sausage Tomato Basil Penne

I'm not very creative or else I would have come up for a cool name for today's recipe, but at least it's very descriptive! :-)

Makes enough for about 2-3 people.
[not sure why I look so startled in this picture lol]



Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 cup onion (thin sliced or diced, whatever you prefer)
- 2 cloves of chopped up garlic
- 1/2 lb ground spicy italian sausage
- 3 tomatoes (I like vine ripe tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup grated cheese of your choice (I used mozzarella)
- fresh basil (however much you want to use as topping)

Sauce Instructions:
1. Heat pan on high (around 8/10)
2. When warm, pour in a little olive oil
3. Cook sausage
4. When slightly cooked, add onion (Start boiling water for pasta and cook)
5. Right before onions start to get clear, add garlic
6. After the sausage has browned, add tomatoes
7. Let the sauce simmer so the tomatoes turn to sauce
8. Add salt and pepper to taste
9. Remove from heat and sprinkle in some cheese and stir to let it melt
10. Pour the sauce on the pasta, top with basil, & sprinkle some more cheese for garnish
