Add the diced peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are just starting to get tender, then mix in the pasta sauce and oregano.

Notes
Bulk sausage I cannot price but you can make yourself with ground pork which will cost about 25 Baht/250 grams. Figure about 50 Baht for 250 grams of ground beef. The Mozzarella cheese will cost 140 Baht for a 200 gram block which will make about 2 cups of shredded. If using 3 cups of shredded, go with 1 1/2 blocks at 210 Baht. For 8 servings, this is about $1.05 per serving.
