Truly hearty and satisfying.

Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Meanwhile, to make sauce, in a large non stick frying pan over medium-high heat, cook sausage until cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes; remove to a plate.

Heat oil in same frying pan, add yellow peppers and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are lightly coloured and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

Add wine and garlic; cook until most of liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, crushed red pepper, salt and browned sausage; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender and sauce is heated through, about 10 minutes.

While sauce simmers, add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Drain pasta; return to pot. Add sauce and basil; toss to mix and coat.
