Weeknight Lasagna Toss

I've had about 4 leftover lasagna noodles waiting to be used up for awhile now. I found this in the newest edition of Food & Family magazine and decided this would be the best way to use them up. Since I only had 4 noodles, I used up some rigatoni noodles to replace the rest of the lasagna noodles and it worked out perfectly. It does look very similar to the Tomato and Sausage Rigatoni I made recently, but there are a few flavor differences between the two.
