Remove the casings from the sausage and break up the meat with your fingers. In a large sauté pan, cook the sausage, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned. Pour off any excess fat. Add the onion, garlic and tomatoes to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and wine, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Toss the pasta with the salsiccia sauce, add the cheese and serve.
