Expert Tips

Sausage with peppers and pasta is a popular Italian-American restaurant favorite. This version is easy to make; spicy Italian sausage and seasoned Italian tomato sauce add lots of flavor.

Like Parmesan, Asiago cheese is a firm, aged grating or shredding cheese. Look for containers of shredded Asiago in the grocery store deli or cheese department.

Mild Italian sausage can be used in this recipe.

Parmesan cheese can be used in place of Asiago.

Romaine lettuce tossed with creamy Italian dressing is nice with this penne dish. Spumoni ice cream is a refreshing dessert.
