    This was fabulous and quick. Made it two times before I reviewed it. First time made it with Sweet Italian sausage, then made it with spicy sausage. I must admit, I am a bigger fan of the sweet Italian with the addition of red pepper flakes to spice it up. I think the sweet just has a better flavor for me, but love it is kicked up a little with the red pepper flakes. We loved this both ways,but I think I will stick to the way it is written. Thankyou GinnyP your recipe is fantastic !

    This dish does not need another rave review, but it's getting one anyway. This was delicious! My spaghetti loving kids said this was a million times better than spaghetti and I need to put it on the dinner rotation. I used 1 can of fire roasted and 1 can chopped tomatoes but otherwise followed recipe exactly, using rotini pasta. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

    This deserves more than 5 stars! This is an incredible tasting dish. Since I have tons of tomatoes in the garden, I used fresh peeled and seeded tomatoes. I made this with whole milk, added a few frozen peas for color, and the pasta we chose was penne. I will definitely make this often. Thanks!!

    Let me just say this: YUM. Okay, and I'll say more: I just finished the leftovers for breakfast. This was a very easy dish and tasted like it took much more work. I let the sauce cook down a little more than suggested, and I added more red pepper flakes, and it was wonderful. Thanks for sharing this great recipe GinnyP!
