Week 13: Recipe #4--Sausage with Peppers and Pasta

Here's another Kraft Foods recipe.  Simple, fast, and tasty!  I served this with a green salad and bread.  Makes 6 servings.

You'll Need:

• 3 cups rigatoni pasta, uncooked
• 1 lb. italian sausage, sliced
• 1 each red, green, and yellow pepper, coarsely chopped
• 1 can (14 oz.) italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Italian mozzarella-parmesan cheese blend
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan

Preparation:

1. Cook pasta as directed on package.  Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet on medium heat 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Add peppers; cook and stir 7 minutes or until sausage is done and peppers are crisp-tender.  Stir in tomatoes; cook 2 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
2. Drain pasta.  Add to sausage mixture with shredded cheese; mix well.
3. Top with parmesan.
