Method

In a large frying pan slice sausages and brown lightly. Once browned, add salt, pepper, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, onion, vegetable oil and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes. After 30 minutes, add oregano, cilantro, garlic, dill and parsley. After sauce begins to simmer fill a pot with hot salted water and boil penne noodles for 10 minutes or to al dente. Remove pasta, pour into a colander to cool, and drain 3 minutes. Serve in large pasta dish; pour sauce over top with some parsley leaves on both sides for impressive presentation.
