Remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from pot and, over medium heat, stir in white wine, mixing well with scrapings from bottom of the pot.

Add onion, garlic and pepper mixture.

Stir in plum tomatoes, oregano, black pepper, crushed red-pepper flakes and sausage slices.

Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.

Boil water for rigatoni and begin cooking it.

In the last 8 minutes of the cooking time for the sauce, add asparagus and continue to simmer 8 minutes, or until asparagus is tender.

Drain rigatoni and serve with sauce.
