In the same skillet, add onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook until they become tender and slightly caramelized.

Pour in the marinara sauce and stir well. Add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Mix Pasta and Sausage

Add the cooked spaghetti and sausage to the skillet. Toss everything together until well-coated with sauce and heated through.

Top with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately in a hot skillet for that restaurant-style sizzle.
