Pasta with Sausage and Peppers

For those people (such as my husband) who are not too fond of the intense tomato flavor found in many pasta dishes....this is for you. The ease of preparation is a big bonus for cooks, too. An Italian cookbook that has been in my collection for almost fifty years includes this recipe.
