Spaghetti with Italian Turkey Sausage

8  ounces  hot Italian turkey sausage links
8  ounces  uncooked spaghetti
1  (28-ounce) jar no-salt-added whole tomatoes, undrained
2  tablespoons  olive oil
1/2  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
5  garlic cloves, minced
1/2  teaspoon  sugar
1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt
1/4  cup  torn fresh basil
1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preheat broiler.

Arrange sausage on a small baking sheet. Broil sausage 5 minutes on each side or until done. Remove pan from oven (do not turn broiler off). Cut sausage into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on baking sheet. Broil sausage slices 2 minutes or until browned.

Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.

Place tomatoes in a food processor; process until almost smooth. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add crushed red pepper and minced garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, and salt; cook 4 minutes or until slightly thick. Add sausage and cooked pasta to pan; toss well. Top with fresh basil and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
