2. Stir in water and pasta; cover and bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally at first, and then more often (to prevent sticking), until most of water is absorbed.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Remove sausage from pan (let stand 5 minutes). Stir marinara sauce into pasta; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
