I've made this several times now and perfected it to our taste by using 1 lb. Italian sausage instead of ground beef, tomato sauce with basil, garlic and oregano instead of regular, and whole wheat penne pasta. This is one of our favorites now!!

So delish! I made this with turkey sausage as well, and it was great! My husband and I agree that it would be very bland with ground beef. I used whole wheat rotini, spinach and zucchini to make it a little healthier. Definately a recipe I will keep and keep making!
