Instructions: In a large skillet, fry up sausage. Drain, soak up extra grease by putting between paper towels.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In large casserole bowl or pan, combine tomato paste, tomatoes, salt, sugar, and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese.

Add sausage, vegetable mixture and cooked noodles to tomato mixture and stir to combine. (If mixture is too thick, add a small amount of water or tomato juice) Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
