Categories: Salads
Yield: 12 Servings

2 lb Italian Sausage Links
18 ea Ripe Roma Tomatoes
1 1/2 ea Medium onion, chopped
2 c Shredded Motzzarella cheese
3/8 c Red wine vinegar
3/4 c Olive oil

1 1/2 ts Dried oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 ea Sweet red peppers, chopped
2 ea Small yellow squash,chopped
1 ea Habenero pepper
1 lb Rotini

Cut habenero pepper in half. Toss in water to cook the pasta. When
pasta is al dente, remove pepper. Drain and rinse pasta in cold water
to chill and remove starch.

Cut tomatoes in half, lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place
Italian sausage in boiling water and pre-cook 10 min. Grill over
medium coals until cooked through or brown in medium skillet. Chill
and cut into 1/2 inch rounds. Place in glass serving bowl. Add
tomatoes, onion and cheese, and pasta. Toss gently. Combine remaining
ingredients, pour over sausage mixture. Mix. Marinate at least 1 hour
in refrigerator. Stir before serving. Serve cold.

This recipe comes from Bob Evans Restaurants. Naturally, they suggest
you use their Italian Grillin' Sausage, with some spicing up by Jim Kirk.
