I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of sausage, but I'm so glad I did. The sausage and peppers added so much flavor to the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time.

I'm not usually a fan of ziti, but this recipe changed my mind. The sausage and peppers added so much flavor and the sauce was creamy and rich. I'll be making this again soon.
