Transfer the sausage mixture to a large bowl; add the pasta, butter, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.(Notes: You can purchase Roasted Peppers rather than make them. The olive oil can be left out as the sausage has enough fat for the pan. I also drained the fat after cooking. I left the Olive Oil and butter out of the nutritional info as they really are not necessary.)Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user OLIVERSMOM2.
