  7. Pour the sausage, pepper, and pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until heated through.
  9. Sprinkle with ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese and ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
  12. Serve with crusty Italian bread and a fresh salad.
