| 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. | 2. Lightly oil a large, shallow baking dish. | 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. | 4. In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. | 5. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. | 6. Add the garlic and crumbled sausage; saute until the sausage begins to brown. | 7. Season with salt and pepper. | 8. If the sausage renders a lot of fat, pour most of it off leaving a little to add flavor to the sauce. | 9. Add the red wine; boil until it is almost gone. | 10. Add the tomatoes with all of their juices and cook, uncovered, at a lively simmer for about 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly. | 11. Add the marjoram or oregano and taste for seasoning. | 12. In a large mixing bowl, mix together ricotta, about half the grated pecorino, the nutmeg, and the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. | 13. Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. | 14. Drain well and toss it with the ricotta mixture until well coated. | 15. Add the sausage and sauce and mix again. | 16. Add the mozzarella and toss gently. | 17. Pour everything into the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining Pecorino on top. | 18. Bake uncovered until lightly browned and bubbling, about 20 minutes. | 19. Serve right away. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
