Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or per package directions. Drain well.

2. Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part, about 5 minutes.

3. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.

4. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onion and green bell pepper chunks and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.

5. Return the sausage to the skillet, add the drained pasta and toss together over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through. Serve hot.
