Whole Wheat Pasta with Chicken Sausage and Roasted Veggies

6 ounces chicken sausage*, thinly sliced on a diagonal
2 red or orange, or a mut mixture, bell peppers, cut into 1" squares
1 red (purple onion? what is it??) onion, diced into 1 " squares
1 cup sliced mushrooms
salt & pepper
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh cut, Italian-leaf parsley (or may use fresh thyme)
1/2 lb whole wheat egg noodles

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss cut up veggies with olive oil, salt & pepper, and sausage. Roast for 25-30 minutes until everything is tender. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt, stir in egg noodles, and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta, and mix with garlic, parsley, and veggie-sausage mixture.Top with sprinkling of parm. cheese.* I accidentally purchased chicken sausage via Trader Joes with serreno peppers and dude, it was, needless to say, quite piquant and very spicy! You could also get some great chicken sausage varieties-basil, sun-dried tomato, etc, that would be scrumptious!
