Here's an easy dish that makes lots of food. Good for feeding a bunch of people at once like the whole family or a potluck dinner. This one's also nice since you could assemble everything and then just pop it into the oven to bake 15-30 minutes before you plan to serve it.

1/2 pound penne
1 pound sausage (removed from casing)
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced (because I had fresh available)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Asiago cheese

I have weird preferences in regards to herbs. I cannot stand cilantro, and so many people seem to love the stuff. Well, I shouldn't say I can't stand it because I do like it in a yogurt sauce--India style :)
I've been using more chicken Italian sausage these days. Isernio's makes a great hot Italian sausage and it saves me on the fat grams.
