Pasta with sausage and cannellini

Rigatoni with Spicy Sausage and Cannellini Beans
Source: "Stir" by Barbara Lynch

I feel like I've made recipes that hit on either side of this before, certainly it feels and tastes very familiar. But most importantly, it tastes really, really good. It's a great iteration of whatever previous recipes I've made that fall into this category.

You brown four cloves of garlic, one chopped onion and a package of Italian sausage in enough olive oil to coat a pan, breaking up the sausage as you go. Add a cup of red wine and reduce. Then stir in two cans of diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes while the pasta cooks. (It calls for rigatoni; I used whole wheat penne.) Toss the drained pasta along with the sauce, a can of drained cannellini, some butter, a half cup of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste, with more cheese and basil for garnish.
