Instructions
Brown and crumble chicken sausage in large dutch oven . Remove from pan and set aside. Boil water for pasta.
Heat olive oil to the same pan you cooked the sausage in and add onion, red peppers and saute until onions are soft. Add garlic and parsley, saute for another 2-3 minutes. Add the crushed and diced tomatoes, along with basil - cook 5 minutes. Add broth and cooked sausage. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 15 minutes before serving.
Add pasta to water and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse. (rinsing will keep the pasta from sticking together until you are ready to serve)
Meanwhile back at the yum station. Mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
