Provolone Ziti Bake

This is a really nice little pasta dish.  It does take a while (it has to bake for an hour), but man it is good.  It was nice to have a homemade and pretty healthy sauce.  It was easy, too.  This also warms up pretty well for the next night! This is from healthy cooking magazine!

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cans (28 ounces each) Italian crushed tomatoes
• 1-1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup dry red wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 package (16 ounces) ziti or small tube pasta
• 8 slices provolone cheese

Directions

• In a Dutch oven, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, water, wine, sugar and basil. Bring to a boil; remove from the heat. Stir in ziti.
• Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour. Top with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 4-6 minutes longer or until ziti is tender and cheese is melted. Yield: 8 servings.
