Heat olive oil in a dutch oven (or a very deep skillet) over medium heat. When oil is hot, add sausage; cook until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onions; cook until softened and translucent and sausage is well browned, 5 - 7 minutes. Add oregano, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, garlic, salt and pepper; stir.
Add stock/broth, tomato puree and tomato paste; stir. Add uncooked pasta to the sauce; bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente, 15 - 20 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in mozzarella and mascarpone. Add more seasoning, to taste, if necessary.
Serve with shaved Parmesan and torn basil leaves.
6-8 servings.
