Penne Pasta with Vegan Sausage and Peppers

One of my favorite Italian dishes has long been the Rigatoni Abruzzi at our local Bertucci’s . The dish is somewhat spicy with Vegetarian Italian sausage and green peppers. I’ve been trying to duplicate the flavor and texture as a Vegan dish and I’ve finally got it!
