EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

One pound fully cooked mild Italian sausages can be used for the uncooked links.

Cut meat and vegetables into pieces of uniform size to ensure even cooking. Meat and poultry will be easier to slice if you freeze them slightly before cutting.

Shave fresh Parmesan cheese over this Italian bowl.

Is a family Favorite. We are not very big on Italian sausage, so we use Kielbasa instead. WE love it!

I thought this recipe would be amazing, and it wasn't bad but I found it a little boring. I felt like it needed something, maybe some pesto or other light sauce. My boyfriend felt the same way and he is a big fan of italian sausage.

My boyfriend raves about this and it's one of his favorite dishes that I make. I substitute the squash for strips of green pepper (I'm not a squash fan) and it turns out delicious every time. Another keeper to pass down to my children someday! You will not be disappointed. Yummy!
