Like lindafox3, I browned the sausage for a bit before adding the veggies. This came together quickly and we all enjoyed it. I also omitted the fennel seeds since they're not really my favorite and I think there are plenty of them in the Italian sausage that I buy...

You could try fat free half and half instead of the whipping cream

This recipe was really quick as I had ratatouille in the freezer that included all the vegetables in this recipe. I just added fennel and some red pepper flakes and omitted the cream because the recipe for me, didn't need it. I would make this recipe from 'scratch' even if I didn't have ready made ratatouille. It is quick and delicious either with bulk or encased sausage.

Wondering if someone can give me an idea of what would be a lower-fat substitute for the whipping cream? Your ideas are appreciated! I want to make this, it sounds great, though I will probably substitute turkey italian sausage.

This is a favorite with our family. The only change I make is start the sausage first, then add the veggie later so they don't cook down too far. This is a real winner!

I have made this recipe twice. Once with bulk sausage and Italian sausage links. It is better to use the links. I also omitted the fennel seed. The recipe is simple and a keeper.
