Mediterranean Pasta With Fire Roasted Tomatoes image

I found this recipe on an advertisement page for 'McCormick Gourmet Collection' spices. This recipe sounded pretty good, though maybe a little labor intensive for a week night! I think a nice Italian sausage would add to this dish as well, so I included it as optional.
