Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups penne pasta, uncooked
1 lb italian sausage (ground )
1 green bell pepper , cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper , cut into thin strips
1 large onion , cut into thin strips
26 oz spaghetti sauce
1 tsp fennel seed
1 dash red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried sweet basil leaves
1/2 tsp oregano
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cook pasta as directed on package.
Meanwhile, brown sausage and crumble while browning. Drain off grease.
Add bell peppers and onion, cook and stir 5 minutes until they are tender crisp.
Stir in spaghetti sauce, fennel seed, and red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil.
Cook the sauce until heated through and then add the cheeses to melt, stirring frequently.
Drain pasta and add to the spaghetti/sausage mixture. Garnish with more parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic bread.
You can simply eat this as is, or you can place in a lightly greased casserole dish and place in preheated 375 degree oven. If you put in oven, top with more cheddar cheese. Serve when cheese has melted and starts to brown and casserole is bubbly!
