Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 6-8 oz dried pasta from pantry until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
2. Slice 12 oz chicken sausage into coins. Slice 8 oz mushrooms, dice 1 green bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper, chop 1 lb tomatoes, thinly slice 1 medium onion and 1 small shallot, and mince 4 garlic cloves. Chop 2 tbsp parsley, 1 tbsp basil, and 1 tsp oregano.
3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage for 4-5 minutes. Remove to a plate.
4. In the same skillet, cook onion, shallot, mushrooms, and both peppers for 7-9 minutes until well browned and softened.
5. Add garlic and oregano; cook 30 seconds. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, 1/3 cup water, salt, and pepper. Simmer 8-10 minutes until a chunky sauce forms.
6. Return the sausage to the skillet and simmer 2 minutes more so the flavors combine.
7. Add the drained pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
8. Finish with parsley, basil, and a squeeze from 1/2 lemon to brighten the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
