We really enjoyed this recipe. We used mild italian sausage instead of the sweet sausage the recipe calls for. Even with that it definitley needed the crushed red pepper for more zip. We really loved the leftovers the next day as well. This was very simple.

Both my husband and I loved it. We used Jimmy Dean hot ground sausage instead of the sweet sausage. Because we used the hot sausage, we didn't use any of the crushed red pepper. Will definitely make again.

Wasen't my favorite meal, tasted a little bland. Wouldn't make again.

soooo good! family loved it! i used whole wheat pasta,low fat soup, and sweet italian chicken sausage instead to cut down on the calories! and it was yummy! i am going to try it with peas next! thanks for this one! its sure to be a keeper!

Not bad. I made a double batch. I used cream of celery and brocolli cheese soup with one cup milk. Lots of pepper. Hubby didn't complain as he ate it.

Welllll......I used hot bulk sausage instead of sweet. Didn't have any cream of brocolli so I used Cream of Onion. Used Cheddar instead of Parmesan and I don't normally use a measure cup so I used 1/2 soup can of milk. Oh..and Penne instead of corkscrews....my family loved it. :)

This was okay. I have to say though that I didn't have cream of broccoli on hand so I used cream of chicken. I wasn't a big fan of the sweet flavor that the broccoli/onion combo had with the sausage. On my own plate I added a sprinkle of lime juice and really liked the extra zest.

Having said that, I used pork/venison sausage instead of the sweet Italian it called for and I wish I hadn't. I think this dish needs the sweetness to offset the saltyness of the rest of the ingredients. I couldn't find Cream of Brocoli and settled for Cream of Brocoli and Cheese. I used a package of Wacky Mac instead of the spirals to bring more color to the dish. I did add a bit more milk (about 1/2 c.) because my broccoli (which was fresh, not frozen) just didn't have enough liquid to cook. Overall it wasn't that bad but I won't be making it again. Why? My 3 year old daughter only ate the sausage and the oldest, a 5 yr. old, tried it and wouldn't touch anymore (she's usually a good eater). My 1 year old ate the macaroni okay but it wasn't the ideal dish for a youngster with few teeth. It's worth trying if you have nothing else to cook and have the ingredients on hand. Maybe it was just a personal preference and your family will like it. But I won't be making it again. Always like to try new recipes, though, so thanks for the post!
