This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect way to do it. The dish turned out great and I will definitely be making it again.

I'm not a big fan of Italian sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It still turned out great! The sauce was flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly.
