What a great recipe, Karen=^..^= ! The only change I made was to use penne pasta, instead of he rigatoni! I used hot Italian sausage in it and it turned out great! I steamed the sausage in a bit of water to get rid of some of the fat, then browned it. We had a loaf of crusty Italian bread with it and still have lots left for another meal! Thanks for this great recipe which I'll be making again!

Karen, What a winner! Easy to follow directions. After reading the reviews, I made only a few minor adjustments. I added 2 cloves of minced garlic to the frying pan with the onion and sausage. I also added approximately 1/2 Tbls. of chopped fresh parsley to the ricotta (just because I had some). I used a jar of Classico Spicy Tomato and Pesto Sauce and that really seemed to give it the ZING it needed. This is a keeper for sure, thanks for sharing, Tweeky.

This was a big hit with the men folk! And so easy to prepare! The recipe didn't say what to do with the onions but I sauteed them in a little olive oil and added them to the sauce; worked just fine. Must look for more recipes by Karen!

This recipe was a big hit with the picky eaters club at my house. The creamy cheese sauce cooks up nicely. When I make it again I would like to add a few more fresh ingredients, especially garlic would be nice!

I made this for dinner Sunday and it was delicious! I didn't add the onions because my Honey doesn't like onions and it turned out just fine. I added minced garlic and oregano to the sauce and I mixed the ricotta with some oregano too. I used parmesano reggiano because that's all I had. Well make this again too!

Oh My Gosh, this was sooo good. Even though I live in Florida it does occasionally get cold here. Since we are having a freeze warning the next few nights, I thought this sounded like a good recipe in the chilly weather. The Hubby and Son loved it, I figured ti would be good with the reviews I read. Karen, Thank you again.....

Well, here's another 5 Star Winner! My gosh, Girl, this is just the best Italian recipe. So easy to put together and plenty of yield. The only change was I used Provlone and Ricotta Strata. Whoa, what a feast! We really enjoyed and thank you bunches for posting. Laudee C.

This was so good and easy to prepare. I assembled it the night before and just had to put it in the oven when I came home from work the next day. All we needed was a loaf of Italian crusty bread with it. We had lots of leftovers.
