Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
2. While pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove sausage from casings and add to skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and crumbled, about 5 minutes.
3. Add diced onion and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes.
4. Stir in the Tuscan Heat Spice and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add diced tomatoes and chicken stock concentrate. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet along with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss to coat evenly. If needed, add more pasta water to loosen the sauce.
7. Serve topped with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
