Quick Italian Sausage Pasta

Sauté chunks of Italian sausage in some olive oil; chop an onion and red bell pepper and add to the pan. Cook until the sausage is browned and the onion is tender.  Add a 15 oz can of tomatoes.(Crushed, diced, pureed, or just the sauce, up to you.)
Simmer for about 15 minutes while cooking pasta (such as penne or elbow macaroni) in another pan.  Just when pasta reaches al dente, take it out with a slotted spoon and add to the sauce.  If the sauce gets too thick, add some pasta water.
Serve with Temperature Rising.
