Rigatoni With Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions image

I know it's difficult to think of making your own pasta sauce when you can get one easily out of a can - but believe me - this is worth it! It's not even difficult, and so impressive, fun, colorful and filling. You can even prepare the sauce in advance and rewarm it when you're ready to cook the pasta.

This is a simple but delicious dinner my family loves. I serve it with crusty Italian bread or garlic bread and a salad. Feel free to use hot or sweet Italian sausage.
