Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Carefully wipe out the pan with a paper towel. In the same pan over medium high heat, warm the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Saute onion and pepper until softened, about 10-15 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add sausage to pan; pour in egg mixture. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until eggs are just barely set. Carefully remove pan from the oven. Turn broiler on and move the oven rack to the highest position. Spread crushed tomatoes over eggs and arrange mozzarella on top. Broil frittata for 3-5 minutes. Carefully remove pan from the oven. Slide frittata onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with torn basil leaves. Serves 8.
