1. Sauté the first 3 ingredients in the hot oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in beef that has been browned. Add the remaining ingredients except the pasta. Bring to boil; reduce heat, simmer uncovered stirring often for 30 minutes. 2. While the chili is cooking, cook the pasta according to the directions on the box; drain. Serve this chili over the penne pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired (remove the bay leaves before serving). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
