I began serving a version of this dish as a side with grilled salmon. I added sausage and rice-or noodles-to make a complete meal-in-one. -Debby Abel of Flat Rock, North Carolina

A good recipe, just nothing groundbreaking about it. Very fast to make, so good when you need a quick dinner.

Delicious! I used ground hot Italian sausage and threw in some yellow squash and some chopped red peppers too. Served over brown rice.

I use hot Italian Turkey Sausage, Italian diced tomatoes, extra garlic, and add some Italian seasoning to make the skillet more intensely flavored. Delicious.

Excellent! I used hot turkey sausage and added the extra link. Served over Orzo as another reviewer suggested. I decreased the serving size to 1 cup. Very yummy!

This recipe is fantastic. The only change I've made is to add a can of Rotel tomatoes. I serve it over orzo for something a little different.

Wow! What a winner! I used 2 lb. of turkey sausage and an extra can of tomatoes, then thickened it with a little cornstarch and water. What a wonderful dish. I will be fixing it AGAIN tonight!

Very good -- Make sure you get turkey sausage -- otherwise, the calorie count is a lot higher!!! Will make again.

Would be good over whole wheat pasta as well

I think adding green,yellow and red peppers would also add to this dish.

This sounds delicious and I'll bet the diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano instead of the plain tomatoes would add some great taste too.

tried this with some noodles - can't wait for my zucchini to start growing in my garden so I can have my own fresh zucchinis!

This is wonderful! I was a little skeptical that such simple ingredients could make a good recipe, but it turned out to be fantastic. I served it with brown rice. Great the next day heated up for lunch.
