Chicken Sausage Oven-Roasted Pasta Primavera

This is another recipe I sampled when I was in Wisconsin.  I think this dish is a great way to start Spring with.  I loved all the fresh vegetables and roasting them in the oven makes them even better.  The chicken sausage in this recipe is also full of flavor.  It is also a simple dish to put together. However, it is nice enough to serve company.  This was my favorite dish from my trip.
