Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally.

5. Serve, passing remaining cheese separately.

Great stuff! I used 3 sausages for the 3 of us, orgot to add the wine, and forgot to buy fresh rosemary, so I used about a teaspoon of dried, crushed rosemary. Turned out great and we all loved it. Thanks.

My husband loved it. I guess it tastes better on the second and third days. I liked it, but wasn't crazy about it. I guess I would rather have more chicken and less sausage. So I will tweak it a bit, but we will be keeping it. Also, using a green pepper insead of the red pepper may add some color to it.
