In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes; sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Remove casings from pork sausage; add to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon; cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in roasted bell peppers and chicken broth; simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Add cooked pasta to the skillet; toss to coat with the sauce.

Finish with grated parmesan cheese; season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot.
