Whole Wheat Pasta With Sweet Italian Sausage

This was a big hit at my house!
The hubby loved it and
my pasta lovin daughter thought it
was great!

Recipe:
1 lb Sweet italian sausage (I used links, but ground work great to!)
1 lb Whole wheat pasta
16 oz Your favorite pasta sauce( I used my homemade sauce)
1 Teaspoon olive oil
1/2 Cup diced onion
3 Garlic gloves minced
1 Teaspoon dried oregano
1 Teaspoon dried thyme
1 Teaspoon parsley
1 Teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. In a large saute
pan heat olive oil and add in onion and garlic.
Saute until tender mix in remaining spices and add in
the sausage links(i cut my links in to bite size pieces),
cook until sausage is cooked through, add in pasta sauce and bring to
a boil. Boil for 5 minutes and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Pour sausage and sauce mixture over cooked pasta and toss well.
Serve with shredded cheese on top.
