Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb dried rotini pasta
1 -1 1/4 lb chicken sausage
1 -2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (14 1/2 oz) can fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
12 oz tomato paste
1/3 cup red wine (or water)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 bay leaf
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove sausage from casings. Cook sausage and onion in olive oil in a large, deep skillet, stirring ocassionally. Halfway through cooking add garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. When chicken is cooked through and crumbles add chicken broth, tomato paste, red wine and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring ocassionally.
Begin to add cooked pasta, a little at a time, stirring well to coat pasta with sauce.
Don't forget to take out the bayleaf!
When all the pasta and sauce are mixed together, place mixture in lightly sprayed 9x13 casserole dish and top with grated mozarella cheese and then grated parmesan cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
After 30 minutes I usually place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top a little bit.
