Zesty Penne, Sausage and Peppers

This was made at the Taste of Home Cooking School and it looked good so I thought I'd try it. It's pretty tastey!

3 cups penne pasta, uncooked
1 pound italian sausage
1 each green and red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 tsp fennel seed
Dash crushed red pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cub shredded parmesan cheese

Cook pasta as directed on package. Meanwhile, crumble sausage into large skillet; cook and stir on medium heat 8 minutes or until done. Drain. Add bell peppers; cook and stir 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in next three ingredients; cook 5 minutes or until heated through. Add cream cheese; cook 2 minutes or until melted, stirring frequently. Drain pasta. Add to sausage mixture; mix lightly. Top with shredded parmesan cheese. Serves 4
