This is an excellent dish! I changed just a few features based on the contents of my fridge... I used turkey italian sausage since my family doesn't eat pork (cuts some of the fat and calories too), and used Prego Classico in place of the tomato paste/sauce part. I also added a scoop of Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan sauce and mixed everything together, then sprinkled the mozzerella over the top of everything. My family is a little apprehensive of new recipes from this website due to a few disastrous attempts in the past, but they loved this one! My husband called from work today to ask for that sausagey pasta thing for dinner. Yum!

I really like to cook this dish. I use Italian Sausage links sliced (into coins) and follow the rest of the recipe as indicated. It's great, easy and works well any night of the week and for company.

This got great reviews when I served it at an impromptu gathering at my place. I must admit that I only glanced at the recipe and then kind of winged it from there. My boyfirend and I are vegetarian and our friends are meat-eaters...so I ran out and grabbed a package of veggie "sausage" which I was not a fan of at all, but the meat-eaters liked it. In the first step used a whole onion, about 7 cloves fresh garlic and a green pepper; I added to the pan with the tomato products a handful of basil, oregano, thyme and a little red anaheim for spice. I used dry red wine (a chianti...I didn't have any white). I set aside a portion of the sauce to make with gluten-free pasta for myself. My GF portion was great and while I didn't get to try the non-GF portion, my meat-eater friends and my boyfriend raved about the regular vegetarian version and kept going back for more. With three of them working on it there was only one portion left after an hour or so! All in all this recipe was a great guide, but the sauce definitely needed spicing up to meet personal flavor preferences as it is really bland as writen. I suggest reading a dozen of other reviews to see what people added and go from there.

I belong to a diva meal group, we each make 8 entrees once a month we can freeze and than swap. My group asks me to make this for them on a regular basis. It is simple to make, tastes great, and freezes well.

My family loved it! I took some of the suggestions from other reviewers and substituted the plain tomato sauce with my favorite five cheese pasta sauce and traded out the mozzarella with an Italian cheese blend. I also added some pepper and Italian seasoning to the simmering mixture. It was definitely a winner at my house.

This was tasty and easy. I also "doctored" up the sauce with some basil, oregano, crushed red pepper and dash of sugar. I also used whole grain penne to sneak some extra fiber in. This will be added to the rotation.

I used hot Italian sausage as a few people suggested and my husband and I both liked the extra flavor it added. My husband hates tomatoes, so I used prepared sauce (almost 2 jars!) in place of making my own. We both thought it was good and I will be making this again!

I really liked this as a base recipe. Reading other people's reviews was very helpful and I also used some ideas from baked ziti recipes on this site. I added seasonings (garlic powder, basil, oregano, chili flakes and parsley) to give the sauce more flavor. I also substituted the standard Italian sausage with HOT Turkey Italian Sausage and I used red wine instead of white. I also used a cassarole dish to bake it in. I put 1/2 the pasta mixture in the dish then spread a layer of a combo of cheeses (motz & para) w/ fat free sour cream over the pasta then covered with the rest of the pasta mixture and sprinkled with cheese (got this idea from a ziti recipe on this site). I cut out a lot of cheese in this recipe. I didn't want to overpower the sauce. ...and I wanted to cut back on the fat too. So in the end I modified this recipe a lot, but like I said, it's a GREAT base recipe. I will make this again.

This dish is a good simple dish, but if you want some real flavor, you have to nurture it a bit. I took this recipe, but changed it as such: It's fine to deglaze with the wine, but cook the sauce in a different skillet. When starting the sauce, use a bit of olive oil, and take some shallots, minced onion, or shaved red onion, and simmer it in the oil. Add a bit of minced garlic. Take some basil leaves and throw those in the oil for one minute, and then add the tomatoes, etc. The flavor will be MUCH more substantial. I found the regular recipe to be a nice family dinner recipe, but not much more (in case you want to impress).

Needed a recipe for some extra sausage, this fit the bill. Wonderful flavors. I used a chunky style tomato sauce instead of the tomatoes and tomato paste. Also added some portabello mushrooms.

My husband and I liked this a lot- but I made some changes. I only used half a jar (maybe 1 cup) of pasta sauce and a couple tablespoons of tomato paste. Anything more than that and it would have been too much! I added a lot of onion and fresh garlic when cooking the sausage. I served this with garlic butter and toasted rye bread. It made a very nice meal that I'll definitely make again!

We had this for dinner last night and it was a hit with everyone. I noticed their are no seasonings listed for the sauce, so I went ahead and seasoned it to taste with parsley, basil, garlic & herb seasoning, and pepper. It was delicious! The cooking time seemed to be exact too which is always great. Thank you for sharing, this will be going into our rotation.

A good recipe, but I agree with the other reviewers that spicy sausage is needed to give the dish some kick. Also, I didn't have enough cheese on hand, so I just used about half a cup of mozzarella, and half a cup of Parmesan, and my family (who all LOVE cheese) thought that there was still plenty of cheese flavor. Two cups seems like too much. I also added squash and mushrooms to make it a little healthier.
