1 lb (500 g) penne
2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
2 medium shallots, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 Italian sausages, sliced
1/2 cup (125 mL) vegetable stock
one 14 oz (398 mL) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup (125 mL) light cream or heavy cream
2 Tbsp (30 mL) balsamic vinegar
1 tsp (5 mL) dried dill
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried basil
l/2 tsp (2 mL) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 mL) sea salt

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a small pot. Gently saute the shallots and red bell pepper for 2 minutes. Add the sausage, stock, and tomatoes. Cook until sausage or chicken is cooked through. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Simmer the sauce for 5-6 minutes, or until it thickens. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour the sauce over the pasta. Serve immediately.
