tubes 'n' stuff

my sister-in-law shared this recipe with me years ago and it's been a stand-by because it's so fast and whips up with things i usually always have on hand.  the "tubes" are rigatoni, but i've used any and all pasta and all work great.

ingredients

1/2 lb rigatoni
1/2 lb Italian sausage (chicken or turkey sausage also works great)
28oz can diced tomatoes
15oz can white beans
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
20 basil leaves, coarsely chopped


directions

boil the pasta and drain.  cook sausage about halfway, then add garlic and onion until onion is almost soft.  add tomato and beans and heat through.  take off the heat, throw on the basil and cover for 5 min.  pour over the pasta, mix and enjoy!
