Pasta With Roasted Peppers & Sausage

FloridaNative's Note:

This is from the Ronzoni pasta box and it is delicious. Love roasting the vegetables in the oven with the peppers, before adding any tomatoes. I use 6-inch long chicken Italian sausages, and just cut into 1-inch chunks before they go in the oven.

This was tasty, and VERY EASY! I used mild Italian sausage and crushed tomatoes (instead of diced). I also added a ton of fresh herbs, including some chopped rosemary, parsley and fresh basil. I cut up my sausage into 2" cubes at the beginning for less hassle later on. A very tasty dish served over penne pasta. Made for ZWT 7.

EASY & DELICIOUS. I used hot sausage and added crushed red pepper. We like it spicy. I will be making this one again. Thank You!

Enjoyed this tremendously! And easy also. I did not have fettuccine so instead used macaroni otherwise made as posted. I did remove the skin from sausage and cut up at beginning of recipe. Thanks FloridaNative for sharing. Made for Everyday Is A Holiday!
