1 tbs olive oil
1 can whole tomatoes, 15 oz (450 gr)
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 cup pasta - penne, rigatoni, fusilli

Cook pasta according to package instructions - or boil it until it's done ...taste it!  Chop onion and garlic.  Shred cabbage.  Roughly chop tomatoes - reserving all juice.  Slice sausages into 1/2" (1.25cm) pieces.  Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add paprika and sauté 1 minute.  Add onion, garlic and cabbage and sauté 10 minutes or until starting to get tender.  Add sausage and sage and sauté 5 minutes.  Add tomatoes and their juices, turn heat to low and simmer 20 minutes or until cabbage is done.  Stir in vinegar.  Add pasta.  Toss to mix well and serve.
