Ingredients

  • 6 (3.5 ounce) links hot Italian sausage
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add penne pasta, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Place the Italian sausage links in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally until firm and cooked through.
  • In a separate larger skillet, combine the red and green bell peppers, mushrooms, and Italian dressing. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Slice the Italian sausages into rounds, and stir into the vegetables. Continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes.
  • To serve, place servings of pasta onto plates. Top with the sausage and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese.
