Sit back and let the slow cooker do the hard work with this savory main dish. Since you don't cook the pasta separately, there's one less pot to wash after supper. —LaDonna Reed, Ponca City, Oklahoma

It was a little spicy

YUM! So easy! We threw in extra garlic and used 5 links instead of 4.

This is easy to prepare but the sauce was somewhat runny. I have another Italian Sausage recipe that I prepare in the slow cooker that I like much better.

Instead of using the tomatoes with green chilies, I substituted diced tomatoes. This is a wonderful recipe!

Better than a stick in the eye

Has terrific flavor and just the right amount of "heat". I used yellow and red pepper insead of the green. This will be a definate keeper! Super easy!
