1 1/2 lbs sweet Italian sausage or 1 1/2 lbs hot Italian sausage links, cut crosswise into 1-inch chunks

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of sausage. It was a great substitute, and the dish was still very flavorful.

I'm not a fan of ziti, but this dish was so good that I ate two servings! The sausage and peppers were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was amazing.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably use milder sausage next time.
