=== Ingredients ===
* 2 large ripe tomatoes
* 1 lb bulk sweet Italian sausage
* 1/2 c diced red onion
* 1 T plus 1 t chopped garlic
* 1/4 c chopped fresh sage
* 1 lb penne, cooked according to directions on package
* 1 1/3 c heavy cream
* 1/8 c dry white wine
* 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
* sage sprigs for garnish

=== Preparation ===
Skin and core tomatoes.  Place in a strainer and press to remove liquid and seeds from tomatoes.  Chop coarse and set aside.

Crumble sausage into a saute pan.  Cook over medium heat 5-7 minutes until sausage just begins to lose its pink color.  Add onion and cook for 1 minute more.  Add garlic, sage and penne.  Toss.  Reduce heat to very low and let stand.  In a saucepan, heat cream.  Whisking briskly, add wine.  Stirring constantly, cook over low heat about 5 minutes until sauce is smooth and has reduced by about one-fourth.  Stir in Parmesan.  Pour sauce into pasta mixture and toss thoroughly.  Transfer to a serving plate.  Garnish with chopped tomatoes and sage sprigs.
