Prepare the noodles according to the package directions. While the water is heating for the pasta, heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saut? the onions, peppers and garlic until they are softened, 5-8 minutes. (Meanwhile, start the Brussels sprouts, if you are serving them.) Add the sausage to the skillet with the onions, peppers and garlic and saut? the mixture for a few more minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a large metal bowl, mix the pasta with the sauce. Top it at the table with Parmesan cheese to taste. (Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for up to 2 days before serving it.) Scramble Flavor Booster: Season the sauce with freshly ground black pepper and hot red pepper flakes and use spicy Italian sausage.
