“I enjoyed a similar pasta dish at a restaurant and decided to re-create it to suit my family’s tastes. If I have extra sauce, I freeze it and use it as a base for soup later.”—Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Just made this last week. Have passed the recipe on to several other people looking for delicious but quick dinner ideas. We loved it. I have made again this week and have noticed, though, that different brands of italian sausage result in different in differing end flavor. And I also felt that this would be something I would be served in a nice Italian restaurant. I would definitely serve this to company, knowing it would be delicious.

not enough sauce, but mix of sausage & onion flavors is classically delicious

This recipe is delicious, but my favorite thing about it is how quickly it comes together and that there is no chopping of ingredients! This recipe is in our family's regular rotation since I discovered it.

This recipe was quick and easy enough for a weeknight, and nutritious to boot (red peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc.)! The flavor is strong and savory (like the title promises), and my children managed to eat it without major complaint, so that's a winner in my book.

Sauce was quick and easy to make. This dish tasted like something I would get at an Italian eatery. Will make again!
