My family loved this dish,it had so much flavor. I loved the slight smoky taste of the roasted peppers. I made a few changes to cater to my family. Since we don't eat pork, I switched it to turkey sauasage and doubled the amount of mushrooms. I also combined everything together instead of doing the layers. Topped it off with additional mozzarella cheese and fresh grated parmesan chesse. DELICIOUS!!!

For some reason, this turned out very watery on the bottom. The crushed tomatoes did not coat the rigatoni. I think next time I will try using spaghetti sauce instead of crushed tomatoes.
