Pasta recipe I found online, everyone who's had some loves it!
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until the sides are seared and the sausage is warmed through. Transfer the sausage to a bowl.
Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until they are softened and beginning to turn brown. Add the peppers and cook to evaporate the liquid from the peppers. Clear a space in the middle of the pan and sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir it into the vegetables along with the paprika, the star anise, and the bay leaf.
Add the sausage back into the pan. Pour the tomatoes and all their juices into the pan and bring to a simmer. Mash the tomatoes with the back of your spoon for a saucier sauce, or leave as they are for a chunky one. When the sauce comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10-20 minutes as time allows.
While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta with a generous tablespoon of salt until al dente. Strain.
Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce and give it a taste. Add more salt or other seasonings as needed. If it tastes bitter, a tablespoon of brown sugar helps balance it out. Remove the star anise and bay leaf before serving.
Leftovers will keep refrigerated for one week.
