Add Italian sausage to the skillet; cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Mix in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; simmer for 10 minutes.

Combine cooked pasta with the sausage mixture in a large bowl; stir to combine.

Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
