This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was watery and the sausage was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste, but the sausage and peppers were delicious. I added some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce and it really helped.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use mild sausage instead of hot.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile and can be made with different types of sausage and peppers. I also like to add some chopped spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrients.

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

This dish was a hit with my family! The sausage and peppers were cooked to perfection, and the penne was perfectly al dente. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. We will definitely be making this again.
