Another great recipe from Taste Recipes. Made this tonight as written. Very good and yes, the pepper flakes add a kick. I did miss the part about crushing them but don\u2019t usually do that anyway.

I cut my sausage first, put my butter and oil in, very low heat as I cut alll peppers from green, yellow, orange and red, yellow onion, also had a can of tomato salsa which went great!! we love spices in my home, I raised the heat while my Penne cooked in oil and water, once that was completed I got my tomato sauce cooked up in another pot so I could season it separately to my liking, after the heating process I mixed everything together & put the heat on low to get it real thorough, I served it with corn and garlic bread on side with a cold cup of lemon tea.
