Method 

Step 1

Put a medium non-stick pan over a high heat and brown the sausages in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the sausages are browned, chop into thin slices and set aside.  

Step 2 

Reduce the heat to a medium flame and sweat the onions and garlic in the remaining oil for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper, chilli, oregano and sausages to the pan. Simmer covered until the red peppers soften (this should take about 10 minutes).

Drain the pasta well and put into two bowls with the sauce. Serve with a scatter of chopped parsley and parmesan cheese for garnish.
