Tuscan Pasta With Italian Sausage image

An easy and delicious crock pot meal which I picked up from The Slow Cooker Bible (on clearance at Border's!). The original recipe uses chicken but I alter it to use Italian sausage. This is a hearty pasta and a great way to sneak lots of vegetables into your families' meal and have it taste great, too!
