It’s hard to beat the classic Italian flavors of this hearty, comforting dish. It has a slight kick, so omit the pepper flakes if you don’t want the heat. —Tammy Rowe, Bellevue, Ohio

this was quick and very good. We added some gorgonzola cheese on top of ours and it added the right taste.

Loved this, very spicy for my little kids though. Will cut back on the spices next time cause there will be a next time.

Yummm! Husband and I both loved it. Two of my three kids are too picky and didn't like it, but the other loved it. I like cooking with fresh garlic so I added 3 cloves, crushed. I also used Italian bear sausage (any Italian sausage would work). I'll be making this again.

This is a definite keeper! For personal touches I used olive oil rather than canola, half each of a red and a green pepper, a little sugar, and I added about a quarter cup of red wine. My husband said "WOW" about 15 times through dinner!

This was very good and tasty! I am always looking for something different with a unique flavor and this was it. The only thing I changed was decreased the red pepper to 1/8 tsp. My husband added american cheese to his. Thanks for the recipe!

Very Good! I used bulk Italian sausage instead of the links, then just threw the peppers and onions in and sauted them along with the sausage without adding the oil. I would definitely make it again!

I used whole wheat penne and mild Italian turkey sausages. Oh, so good! I'll be keeping this recipe handy for those nites when I get home from work late.
