The preparation was a bit time consuming but it was well worth it. I used spicy sausage and my fiance and i ate almost the entire pan in one sitting! Will be making this dish regularly c:

I make this all of the time! This is an easy, fast, and filling recipe that my family loves. I use turkey sausage and sugar free Ragu to reduce fat and calories. I also only use 1/2 the amount of cheese. It turns out great every time.

We were having 100 degree temperatures during a heat wave and I did not want to turn on my oven. I tried this in my crock pot. I cooked it on low and it turned out great. I added a little water to the empty sauce jar, shook it up and emptied it into the pot. It helped the pasta cook and everything turned out great.

First time I made this, I used the pork sausage. Tonight I used mild Italian sausage and added some Italian seasoning and dried onions. Both times making this got rave reviews from my family but we all agreed it was best with the Italian sausage. We will make this again and again.

My husband loved this dish and suggested I make it again for an upcoming get-together. He asked that we make it with "HOT" Italian sausage the first time and it was okay...but a bit over-powering. This time we'll use milder sausage. Oh....and I pre-cooked the sausage too. Worked really well! Add a salad, some garlic bread and YUMMY!!

I have made this twice and both times, no leftovers. I will make this many more times. Three people asked for the printed recipe....
