3 sweet or hot Italian sausage, removed from casing
1 large jar Prego with mushrooms
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
2 TBS olive oil
½ C red wine
1/2  C water
½ C shredded parmesan cheese
½ C shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:
Brown meats in olive oil; add garlic, Prego, tomato sauce, bay leaves, wine and water.  Simmer about 1 hour.  Cook pasta using instructions on package for al dente.  Drain pasta; mix with meat sauce and cheeses.  Put in baking dish and sprinkle with both kinds of cheese.  Bake at 350* until bubbly.
