  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Stir peas into the pot during the last 2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil over medium-high heat in a deep skillet. Add onion and garlic and sauté just until tender, about 5 minutes. Add kielbasa; cook and stir until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, mushrooms, sugar, balsamic vinegar, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pasta is done.
  • Drain pasta, then add to the sauce. Stir to combine, then add basil. Reduce the heat to medium-low heat and cook until pasta absorbs liquid from the sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese and serve.
