Fremgangsmåte

Slice sausage into 1/4" thick pieces. Set aside.

Cook pasta according to package directions until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Add a little olive oil if necessary to prevent sticking.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute the sausage slices, then remove them to a bowl or plate. Add a little more oil if necessary, then sauté onions, garlic and peppers together. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken sausage, basil, salt and hot pepper sauce or flakes and chicken broth. Reduce heat to medium, and cover skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is hot and tomatoes are soft.

Mix cornstarch and water with a whisk or fork, add to sauce mixture and mix. Reduce heat slightly and cook uncovered until sauce thickens to desired consistency.

Toss sauce with hot cooked pasta to coat. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
