Add the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, wine, tomato purée, and tomatoes and simmer for 10 min, stirring occasionally. Return the pork loin to the casserole, cover, and cook in oven for 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Remove the fat that collects on the top. Adjust the seasoning. Cook the penne until al denté, drain well, and return to the pot in which it cooked. Add the remaining butter and toss well. Serve as the pasta course with the sauce spooned on top and pass the cheese at the table. Serve the pork loin after the pasta course by slicing in 1/2" slices. This is good accompanied by a crisp salad.
