1/2cupparmesan cheese,grated (plus more for garnish, optional)
1/4cupfresh parsley,chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the olive oil, sausage, onion, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook until the sausage is done, breaking apart the lumps of sausage meat as you go along. To fully cook through the sausage and break down the pieces so that the sausage resembles cooked ground beef, it should take about 20 minutes.
Add the garlic and red and green bell peppers. Cook for 5 more minutes.
Add the basil, oregano, dried chili flakes, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir all ingredients together and continue to cook until the sauce begins to bubble.
Lower the heat to simmer, cover the skillet, and continue to cook the sauce for 10 minutes.
Add in the cooked pasta and toss to coat. Turn off the heat. Add the parmesan and parsley. Toss to mix and serve immediately.
