2 green peppers, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips

2/3 cup  red onion wedges

5 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped

6 Tbsp.  KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing, divided

1 lb.  Italian sausage links

3 cups  cavatappi pasta, uncooked

1 cup  KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Italian* Three Cheese Blend

HEAT grill to medium-low heat.

COMBINE vegetables; place on large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing. Fold to make packet.

GRILL packet and sausage 15 to 20 min. or until sausage is done, turning sausage occasionally. Meanwhile, cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.

CUT sausage links lengthwise in half, then crosswise into thin slices; place in large bowl. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packet. Add vegetables (with their juices) to sausage. Drain pasta; add to bowl with remaining dressing. Toss pasta mixture until combined; sprinkle with cheese.
