1/2 lb Hot italian sausage; casings

1/2 c Onion; finely chopped
1 Garlic; minced
1 Large red bell pepper (about

in a heavy skillet, cook the sausage over moderate heat, stirring and

one-third. In a kettle of boiling water, cook the rigatoni until it
is al dente, and drain it well. Stir into the fennel mixture the
parsley, the sausage, and salt and pepper to taste, and in a bowl
toss the sauce with the rigatoni and the parrmesan cheese.
