Easy Summer Pasta with Sausage

I made this recipe a few months ago when I had a couple of girlfriends over for dinner.  It was just a random recipe I picked that looked good (my friends love being test subjects).  It turned out awesome.  I used a Newman's Own Garlic Parmesan dressing and used turkey sausage instead of regular sausage.  I don't normally like peppers or tomatoes but I had no problem eating them in this dish.  Served with some rolls or bread... makes for a good meal. 

Ingredients
1 pound Spaghettini (or Other Long Pasta Of Your Choice)
1 whole Orange Or Yellow Pepper
2 whole Medium Ripe Tomatoes
4 whole Green Onions
1 pound Sausage Meat (turkey Sausage Works Great Too)
½ cups Basil Parmesan Salad Dressing (or Another Oil Based Dressing Of Your Choice)
½ cups Sliced Black Olives
1 cup Crumbled Feta
Salt And Pepper, to taste


Preparation Instructions
1. Prepare pasta according to package directions.
2. Chop up the pepper and tomatoes. Slice the green onions diagonally.
3. Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a skillet.
4. Once the meat is cooked, add the dressing and let it simmer.
5. Place the cooked pasta in a large serving dish. Layer the peppers, tomatoes, olives and green onions on top.
6. Add the sausage over the vegetables and finish off by sprinkling the feta over the meat.
7. Salt and pepper to taste.
