For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini, to the skillet along with the bell peppers. Fresh basil or parsley makes a lovely garnish. A splash of heavy cream at the end adds richness and depth.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
12 mins
Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. (10-12 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
While the pasta cooks, heat a large, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced Italian sausage and sliced onion and cook, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until the sausage is lightly browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease. (8-10 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the peppers are slightly tender, about 2 minutes.
04
Step
5 mins
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir in the dried oregano. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
05
Step
2 mins
Stir in the cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency. (2-3 minutes)
06
StepServe immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
