Cook the Spaghetti:
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:

Cook the Chicken Sausage:
Add the sliced chicken sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Tomatoes and Seasoning:
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
