“Here’s a family favorite that’s requested monthly in our house," writes Janelle Moore from Federal Way, Washington. "The Italian sausage paired with creamy tomato sauce tastes out of this world. Not only is this dish simple to make, it tastes like you slaved over a hot stove for hours!”

My family LOVES this dish.

this is relatively regular at our house. I usually opt for the lower fat version of everything and am still satisfied.

One of our all-time favourite pasta dishes! Everyone loves this - just as good as any restaurant pasta dish. Its easy to make and makes lots (much more than the 5 servings stated in the recipe).

This is very good! With all of that cream, how could it not be! I used ground sausage because I didn't realize until after I made this, that the photo shows link sausage. Nonetheless, it is very tasty. My sauce was a bit too runny, so I did a shaker of milk and flour to thicken it up. Also, don't skimp on the spices as you want a very bold sauce that gets weakened as soon as you toss it with the bland pasta. Bold sauce+bland pasta=perfect balance. I will make this again and again!

This recipe is absolutely AMAZING and so easy to make! It's definantly a household favorite. I wouldn't suggest mixing all of the noodles in at once though. I usually only use about half of a package when I make it, the flavor of the meat mixture is just too good to outweigh by the noodles, and I substitute pesto for the basil since I've always got some around. Also, since I have a hard time finding Italian sausage, I just buy a pound of regular pork sausage and add italian seasoning while browning.The flavor is miraculous.

This was excellent, but, I did make a couple of changes to make it a little healthier. Instead of 1-1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream, I only used 1/2 a cup of heavy whipping cream, then added in 1 cup of half and half. I also added in fresh cooked asparagus - it was sooo yummy. thinking of trying it with broccoli as well.

My family loved this, including my son who "hates everything" except pizza!

This was so good! It has a little kick to it so I'm glad I didn't buy the hot sausage. A little messy to make but well worth it!
