1 box multi-colored whole grain rotini (or penne, even macaroni)
red, green and yellow bell peppers
onion
cooked sausage: (beef, chicken or pork)
1 bottle Italian salad dressing
Italian herb seasoning
garlic powder
salt and pepper (to taste)
cooking oil

Slice your choice sausage about 1/8-thick and brown in lightly oiled skillet (it's already cooked, just brown it to bring out the flavor).

While pasta is cooking (approx 20 minutes), dice bell peppers and onion. Rinse pasta in cold water and drain.

Mix all ingredients in large bowl and add entire bottle of Italian Dressing. Add herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.

Chill in refrigerator, stirring occasionally.

Note: If you like a "juicier" pasta salad, add more Italian dressing.
