I tend to make minor changes to just about every recipe. For this one I find the biggest difference is in the sausage. I'm used Hot Italian, Mild Italian, Donair, Basil/Tomato. I like the hotter Italian ones. 6 sausages, not 4. I red, 1 Green, 1 Other pepper. 2 cloves of garlic and a tiny bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The kids love it, my wife loves it, I love it.

This recipe was pretty good. I used smoked turkey sausage instead because that's what I had on hand. The kids liked it, hubby thought it was okay, but I thought it was pretty good for how quick and easy it was.

This recipe is AWESOME! I have made a couple changes to it though, for my tastes. I reduce the 2 red peppers to 1 and add a cup (or a little more) fresh mushrooms in it's place. Also, I take sausage patties and break it up so the chunks are larger, a request of my husband. Serve with garlic-cheese bread and it is a weekly staple for us Pasta lovers!!!

My husband's favorite.

Looking at the recipe beforehand, I was worried about the lack of spices. So to prevent it from being too bland, I doubled the garlic, added parsley and basil, and used hot sausage. Even after those modifications, I was disappointed with the results. It was just too much red pepper for my liking...every bite was swimming in it and and it overpowered everything else in this dish (especially since there isn't much of a sauce here except for the wine). My italian husband is the biggest pasta lover I know, and he just said this was OK so I won't be making it again. Thanks though.

I love this recipe! It's not something I can make all the time since we don't keep wine around, but when bell peppers go on sale I buy the wine and this goes on the menu! If you like spicy it's even better with red pepper flakes. I like it best with bowtie pasta as well.

This dish didn't do it for me or my husband. I followed the recipe exactly. I found that it was lacking in flavor, so I added approx. a tbsp. of garlic pepper to enhance the dish, but still found that it was rather lackluster in taste. Sorry, but I will not make this dish again.

I am always loking for Italian recipes that my husband will like. His grandmother was from Italy and so a recipe has to taste authentic to please him. He loved this one! I did, too. It's easy to make.

my husband and i were not crazy about this one. it is more of a bland dry pasta, and i guess we prefer something more creamy and with more flavor. also, 2 red bell peppers are almost too much compared to the meat it calls for. i would do more meat and 1 less pepper. or do 1lb meat, 1 red pepper & 1 green pepper. the red ones are so much more expensive than the green ones... i think i would try it again, but change it to bow-tie pasta and add the addtional meat and switch to both red and green peppers. and maybe melt some shredded parmesan cheese over the top to make it more cheesy/creamy. if you have a resturant called johnny carinos, this reminds us of their skillitini. they have black olives in theirs and that may give it some more flavor i think this original recipe is lacking. :)

This is really good. It was a HUGE hit with the hubby and 3 y.o. son. I really liked it, but I'm not a huge fan of peppers. Will probably make again.

I have made this twice and both times my family loved it. I used bow tie the second time and it still worked out great.

I think next time we will add red sauce to the recipe

I doubled the recipe and we all thought it was very good. Love how easy it is and will make it again.

Very good. I used 3/4 lb of sausage instead of 1/2 lb and drained the fat, other than that I kept to the recipe and loved it. Very fast, very easy, very tasty. The wine added a nice taste and the sauce was slightly creamy dispite the absence of cream in the recipe. I almost forgot, I did add a ladle of pasta water to the sauce also. I will definately make again and make some of the variations suggusted also.

My husband and I both thought this was excellent! I took a few suggestions from other reviewers: I used whole-wheat penne pasta, 1 red and 1 green bell pepper, added mushrooms, dried basil and Italian seasoning. I used turkey sausage, which I sliced and heated without removing the casings or crumbling. I'll be making this again.
