This was very good. I added the sauce to the skillet with the sausage and pepper and kept it warm while the penne cooked. Tossed it all together and served it with a lot of fresh grated Parmesan cheese. We had a crisp salad and some warm garlic bread. Servd a nice red rose wine (Livingston's) to drink. This was an easy recipe that produced a very tasty dish. I will make this again!

This recipe was very tasty. I followed the advice to warm up the sauce in the pan with the sausage and peppers while the pasta was cooking and that worked out well.
