Gather your ingredients, channel your inner chef, and let’s get cooking! Remember, it’s all about enjoying the process and not stressing over perfection.

1. Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Toss in the bell peppers and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
5. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.
6. Add the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
7. Return the sausage to the skillet, mixing it with the vegetables and sauce. Let it all simmer together for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Finally, add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated in the sauce.
9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
