Recipe(tried): Light Sausage & Noodles

This is a colorful, easily-prepared main-dish that's filling enough to satisfy the "glued-to-the-set-and-NOW-we're-hungry" crowd and light enough to please those who have a fatal attraction to all the munchies served during the game, but who still need something substantial to "top up"!
