Add remaining olive oil and butter or margarine to pan and saute garlic over medium heat until just soft, being careful not to blacken it. Add vegetables and cook until just tender.

Return sausage to pan and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Toss with pasta and serve. Or, serve on top of pasta, drizzled with oil from the pan.
