Hot and Cheesy Pasta

8oz Whole Grain Rotini or Penne Pasta
1lb/5 links Hot Italian Sausage
3 Bell Peppers
2 Jalapeno Peppers
1 Large Onion
1 TBSP Olive Oil
1 Jar (24 oz) Marinara Sauce
2 Cups Shredded Italian Five Cheese Blend

Make sure your skillet is ovenproof, or move the contents to a oven safe baking dish before putting it in the oven.

I used Red and Green bell peppers, a Red Onion, Prego Chunky Garden and added Tony's Chacheres, garlic and onion powder and black pepper.

Add a piece of garlic bread to complete this delicious italian meal.

Heat oven to 450 F. Cook Pasta al dente.

While pasta is cooking, cut sausage into 1/2" slices. Seed and slice pepers. Slice onion. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet ove medium-high heat. Add sausage, peppers, onions and seasoning. Cook, 10 minutes, stirring occasional, until peppers and onions are tender and the sausage is cooked through. Add sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in drained pasta and 1 cup of cheese.

Sprinkle remaining cheese over the pasta and bake at 450 f for 8 minutes or until cheese melts and casserole starts to bubble. Cool before serving.
