I didn't have tomato sauce so I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes. After adding the garlic, parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes, this recipe turned out great. I mean delicious.

Tried out this recipe for the first time and my husband and I loved it! So much flavor and richness. I did have to make a few adjustments with the ingredients I had on hand... So I used polish sausage instead and put garlic powder in since I didn't have tomato sauce with garlic. A must try!

Loved it, everyone went back for seconds. I used half hot sausage and half sweet and the hot sausage gave it a nice spice flavor.

SOOOOO yummy! I made this to feed 25 high school girl basketball players ( I quadrupled the recipe) and it was a hit. They went back for seconds. IM giving it 4 stars and not 5 as I thought that the sauce as written in the recipe was a little too bland and acidic for my taste. I like a little more robust flavor. So I added minced garlic, beef base, chicken base, white pepper, italian seasoning, onion powder and red wine rather than white wine and white sugar. I also only boiled the pasta for 5 minutes, and they came out almost too soft after baking ( I did use a nesco) so next time I will not cook the pasta at all. Turned out great though! I will make this again for sure, the sauce is a great base for me to use.

I rated this recipe three stars, but my wife indicated it was more than three stars. To me, it was garden variety pasta; the 1/2 cup of wine didn't seem to add much to the flavor. I must leave open the possibility that I wasn't as hungry as my wife, tasting the sauce along the way to try to pump it up a little. I did add a little basil and salt. As it was, the sauce seemed a little flat. Since my wife ranked it highly, I'm giving the recipe the benefit of the doubt with four stars and will try it again sometime.

Super easy to make and very tasty. I made it for Thanksgiving and my family loved it! The next time I make it, I'll sautee mushrooms with the onions and sausages. Like others, I didn't use white wine, but will try the wine next time. Thank you for the wonderful recipe :)

This recipe was great. Even my husband liked it, without adding any condiment from the fridge, which he usually does (usually Tobasco)! I did change it a bit, as well, based on what I had at home and what other reviewers had said. I didn't have wine, so I used a bit of white-grape juice, red-wine vinegar, and some water. I also didn't have diced tomatoes with garlic, so I used whole canned tomatoes, cut them up myself, and added some garlic powder. I also added some fresh basil and dried seasonings (bit more basil, since I didn't have much fresh, and parsley). It was a bit oily -- I'm not sure you really need to use the olive oil, given how fatty the sausage is! But when my husband went for seconds, I knew I should review this one. My kids were mixed -- 2 of 3 liked it. The picky one didn't like the chunkiness of the sausage, but that's to be expected! Will definitely make again.

This was very good. Even DH, who is not an Italian sausage fan, had two helpings. I cut back on the cheese to about 1 1/2 cups but wish I hadn't, even though I used a smaller, 8" x 11" pan. I also used rigatoni since I had it in the pantry and deglazed with white zin since I had it in the fridge. Filling tasty and easy to prepare.

I substituted hot Italian sausage, because I already had that on hand, and that worked out well. I really enjoyed the white wine flavor-glad I went out to the store to get that. The only thing I want to improve next time is to decrease the fat (I could taste it), so maybe I will drain it on a paper towel and ommit the olive oil. My brothers really liked it..they said it was "bomb," hehe
