This was a great recipe - very quick and yummy when I have 2 kids hanging on me while I'm trying to get dinner on the table. I used Barilla Plus pasta so it was a little healthier and also used fat free Italian dressing and turkey sausage. The leftovers were good also. My son ate the tomatoes too and he never eats his veggies! I'll definitely make this again.

I got home late from work didn't feel like cooking. Needing to go grocery shopping and all I had time to thaw was Italian sausage and this was the recipe that I found, whipped it up in 20 minutes and all I could say was WOW!!! My husband and I are in love with it...and he's a picky eater. Thank You so much. It's now a permanent one in my book.
