Boil water, and cook pasta thoroughly.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a pan. Add onions and sausage. Cook until caramelized.
**At this point, if you want your bell peppers cooked, add now If not, add at the end...
Add drained tomato sauce. Add spinach, and stir until wilted. Remove from heat.
When pasta is finished, add Normandy blend, and bring back to a boil. Strain, and chop larger veggies. Add olives and the meat mixture. When cooled, add, vinaigrette and yogurt. Salt and pepper to taste. (If you prefer raw bell peppers, add them here.)
