Heat large pot of water to a boil. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook until translucent, 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and sausage. (if using fresh sausage, cook until meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes; drain.)

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions in the boiling water. Add red wine to skillet. Cook until about 1/4 c. liquid remains, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; cook until they soften and give up their liquid, 5 minutes. Remove from heat until pasta is through cooking. Stir sliced basil leaves into sauce; season with salt and pepper.

Personal Notes:
Sometimes I will use Del Monte Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano for the tomatoes and I'll use Hillshire Farm Lite Polska Kielbasa -- because it has 1/2 the fat and 1/3 fewer calories and 0g total Carbs :)!!
