This custom cook is an easy way to turn the fresh sausage with onions and peppers combo cook into a delicious pasta meal. I grew up having Italian sausage and peppers in pasta, so I wanted to share an easy way to Bravatize that dish. Feel free to use your favorite pasta sauce instead of making this one if you would like!

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 14.5oz can crushed or diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
