• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water. Transfer to a serving bowl. Add the remaining ingredients; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta cooking water before draining. Return the cooked pasta to the pot.
• While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion just begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sausage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to turn golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the sun-dried tomatoes and the oil from the jar, red peppers, red pepper liquid, walnuts, parsley, Parmesan, vinegar, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Add the sausage mixture and sun-dried tomato pesto to the pot with the pasta and stir until well combined, stirring in as much of the reserved pasta water as necessary to make a creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and more Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, oregano, and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer; cook, stirring and breaking up tomatoes until slightly thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add pasta, sausage, and half the mozzarella; toss to combine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until bubbly and top is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook pasta ala dente and drain.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir gently.
• Chill.
• NOTE: I have also made this salad using diced pepperoni (about 1/2 cup) in place of the chicken.
• If you use the full 2 cups of chicken it is a great main dish salad, or if you prefer you can omit meat altogether and have it as a side salad.
• If your store carries two sizes of the bottled dressing, use the bigger size.
• I don't have any on hand at the moment to check the ounces.
• Sometimes I also add diced green pepper.

Steps:
