Gorgonzola Pepper & Sausage Pasta image

This recipe sort of came about from things I had lying around the kitchen one night. It's a staple meal we make regularly as our pasta vice. You can use hot italian sausage if you like, but I prefer the sweet for the flavor. Cook the pasta to your liking, I like mine just beyond al-dente, and my vegetables crisp, not soggy or mushy. Enjoy!
