Spicy Sausage and Pepper Rotini

Continuing on with sausage week...
I cut this recipe out of Southern Living in 2004 and am just getting around to trying it.  Awesome.  I also found it online and linked to it below.  

This is a simple, good recipe.  I used pasta made from whole wheat, only used red bell peppers, and added onions instead of shallots because I didn't feel like going to the store.  I also used a can of tomatoes also because I didn't feel like going to the store.
