In medium-large saute pan, brown Italian sausage until just cooked through. Drain off fat and set aside.
In crockpot, combine diced tomatoes, tomato paste and V8 drink. Add onion and green bell pepper, garlic, parsley, basil, pepper and salt. Add sausage and stir all to combine well.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
About 30 minutes before it is done, cook pasta according to package directions.
To serve, ladle about a cup and half of soup into a bowl. Top with a handful of cooked pasta (I usually just eyeball it). Top with mozzarella cheese. Enjoy!
