What a great new recipe. I will definitely make this again. I did not have elbows, so I used mini penne. I also used 3 cups of cooked pasta since someone else said there was not enough. The Classico di Napoli (tomato and basil) tasted perfect. I have been a Classico devotee for years, and it is wonderful to use it in a recipe! I left out the mushrooms since I despise them, and I had to substitute Parmesan for Romano since that is what I had. I used a 2.5 qt oval casserole, and it was filled to the top. I definitely recommend a 2.5 - 3 qt casserole if you plan to use more pasta. This baked in about 37 minutes. My picky 6 year old declared, "I hate casseroles!" He then ate four or five servings before I distracted him with cartoons. Honestly, he would've exploded or worse, taken all our leftovers! New note: I made this again in October, '07, and it works well in a 10 x 13 rectangular glass casserole. With the extra cup of pasta, this easily serves closer to 8-10 people. Very filling!

This was fantastic! Since its just two of us at the house now, I halved the recipe and I also used Spaghetti Sauce Mix Spaghetti Sauce Mix in place of the store brought spaghetti sauce. It was so delicious,that my DH went back for seconds. I loved how easy it was to make also. I highly recommend this recipe! Thanks Stacky5LRC for a great recipe!

This was really good! I made it just as appeared and my 6 year old really liked it. When I make it again I probably would "jazz" it up a bit with olives and onions. Good, easy recipe!

This was soooo yummy! I used Rotini becasue that is what I always use and it was great all the ingrediants stuck to the noodles! I halved the recipe because it is only me, DH and my one year old and still had enough to put in the freezer for a couple lunchs later! I forgot to put the mushrooms in but will definately making this again!

I have mixed feelings about this recipe. On the one hand it was a simple recipe and it was quite tasty. On the other hand I felt the recipe itself needed to be a lot clearer and more detailed. For example, what size casserole is recommended? And the steps didn't mention the actual cooking of the sausage. I will probably make this again, but I will use more pasta and a lot less cheese. In any case, I did njoy the finished product.
