- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain; return to the pot.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose flavorful sausage, fresh herbs, and a good quality tomato sauce.
- Brown the sausage well before adding it to the sauce. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it according to the package directions, or until it is al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, not the other way around. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming sticky.
- Stir in the parsley and Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.
