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 was a good use of contest ingredients, albeit not very original. made a filling ,kid friendly dinner -
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.

I've lived on both coasts. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC (Once a Month Cooking) and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Most of the time, I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table, but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would make it again. 4 stars - This recipe was good, but I would change something in it next time. 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again, but it was OK. 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again, and we didn't like it at all. 1 star - This recipe did not work out/the taste was unappealing, and I wouldn't make it again.
