Add finely diced onion, sliced red pepper, and crushed garlic; stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes until vegetables soften.

In a separate pot of boiling water, add salt and Mueller's rigatoni pasta, stirring to prevent sticking while it cooks.

To the sausage pot, add chicken broth and scrape the bottom to release bits; let simmer for a few minutes.

Add bay leaf, oregano, and basil to the chicken broth.

Stir in tomato puree, salt, and black pepper; let simmer.

Scoop cooked pasta directly into the sauce and stir to combine; add pasta water if desired for more sauce.

Finish with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese before serving.
