Fill a large pot with the water and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, add the pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Drain in a colander.
While the water boils, heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage coins and cook for 4 minutes, flipping once, until browned and cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and slightly charred.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the marinara sauce and the remaining salt. Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce is hot and bubbling.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss well to coat the noodles in the sauce and distribute the sausage and peppers. Transfer to a plate.
