This recipe was really good but did need added herbs and garlic. I sauteed 1 minced clove of garlic with the onions and sausage, and I added about a palm full of Italian seasoning and oregano as well as 2 cloves of minced garlic to the sauce and it turned out great. Thanks!

I have everybody asking for a second plate!, I did not have all the tomate paste etc, so I only use a regular spaguetty sauce ( garlic,onions ) I think what really gives the touch is not so much the sauce but the italian sausage.I love it, it was so easy to put together, just add a nice Greck salad and some garlic bread and you have a fancy looking meal!

I gave it a four because my husband said it did not taste very good, but I thought it tasted just fine and so did my two year old. I used a can of 14.5 oz basil, oregano, and garlic flavored tomatoes, 6 oz can of tomato paste and then I used the 14.5 oz can once it was empty and poured in some 4 cheese spagetti sauce. I also did not use wine and added a little more oregano, and some garlic, I used an Italian Cheese blend on top. It was super easy to make.

Great recipe. I added about a tablespoon of sugar and some italian seasonings for some extra flavor. Also, I chopped some garlic to add to the sausage and onions. Definitely a keeper!

As written it's just a 3 star in my opinion. It lacks flavor. It needs seasoning, herbs, etc.. If I were to make it again I'd use crushed or minced garlic, fry it with the onions and sausage in a little olive oil. Add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and depending on the taste adjust it with more garlic powder. With the addition of the "seasonings" it was good.

Excellent recipe. I used sweet Italian sausage. I didn't have the tomato paste so, I had to use a jar sauce (half a 16 ounce jar). I also had only red wine so, I used a little red wine and watered it down, I think I used only 1/4 cup of wine, instead of the 1/2 cup. The rest of the recipe I followed exactly and it was great! Such a wonderful flavor. Will make again! Thank you!

My family loved this. I too left out the wine. I did add fresh zuccini both green and yellow and mushrooms. Since one family member is a vegitarian I made him a meat loaf pan size but I left out all sausage. It cooked in the oven along with the larger pan for the meat eaters.

Rating based on changes noted below: Cooked italian sausage w/o the onions & oil, used red wine instead of white wine, used cabernet marinara sauce, instead of the tomato sauce, used fire roasted tomatoes and garlic powder instead of canned tomatoes and garlic. Once the pasta was cooked, I reserved some of the water, added the water to the sauce, added about 1 tsp of italian seasoning, and also added in some ricotta cheese. Mixed the pasta, and sausage mixture together, and then put it into a casserole dish. Instead of using all mozzarella, I used a 6 cheese italian combo, and then added a small amount of parmesan cheese...this was fantastic!

I used some homeade marinara sauce that I had leftover (instead of the tomato paste/sauce) and it turned out great. I think the wine is what really boosts this recipe.

This was really good with a little tweaking - added about 4 cloves of garlic, basil, oregano, pepper, sprinkled the top with romano cheese in addition to the mozz and used spicy italian sausage. I made this as an early V-day dinner for my boyfriend and he loved it, we will definitely use this recipe in the future, thanks!

Needed a quick meal last night with ingrediants I had on hand. Found this and decided to try it. I had to use hamburger because I didn't have sausage but preferred it anyhow. Used about 6 cloves of fresh garlic when browning the meat and onion, used fresh Basil and also some dried oregano and Thyme. Used a bit more than two cups of cheese on top and when done, decided that instead of just the cheese on top, I would enjoy it more through-out so I added more to each serving and microwaved it until melted. It was very good, rich and filling but even my picky 9 yr old son who doesn't eat homemade spaghetti sauce ate a plate of it! Good to take to a potluck because it's pretty easy and looks nice.

Pretty good. Kids really liked it, my husband thought it was just okay he thinks it needs more sausage. I liked it, I thought it had a good flavor and was easy to make. I will make it again but will add more sausage for hubby.

A fantastic recipe, and a unanimous hit with everyone in the house. I used fresh garlic instead of in the can, and added oregano and basil. Beyond that, I wouldn't change anything.

this was an amazing dish! Even my super picky fiance loved it, he cant wait for me to make it again. It was so quick and easy. I just made an easy version of it, i followed the directions, but instead of using all the seperate tomatoe cans, I used one jar of tomato basil pasta sauce and threw in some garlic along with the wine. It turned out delicious! :o)
