2. Add Tomatoes and Paste: Stir the canned tomatoes with basil and tomato paste into the cooked sausage. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Prepare Layers: Remove the skillet from the heat and keep the sausage mixture warm.

5. Layer Pasta and Sauce: Place half of the cooked pasta in the bottom of the skillet. Spread half of the sausage and tomato mixture over the pasta. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

6. Repeat: Add another layer with the remaining pasta, followed by the remaining sausage and tomato mixture. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

7. Cook: Cover the skillet and return it to the stovetop. Cook over medium heat until the dish is heated through and the cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes.

8. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and let it stand for 1 minute before serving. This allows the cheese to set a bit and makes for easier serving.
