This is a very good recipe. It's easy to make, with simple ingredients, and the end result is a rich, filling meal. I used turkey Italian sausage, added some fresh garlic in addition to the onion and celery during browning, and some basil to the sauce. The celery seemed a little weird in a pasta dish, but it added a nice contrast in texture to the pasta, cheese,and sausage. Overall, this dish was excellent. This one's a keeper.

This is a good recipe, but I give it 3 *** because I modified it so much. 1) Saute the onions, celery, and sausage together. I found the sausage had enough oil that adding olive oil wasn't really necessary. 2) Added fresh garlic to that mixture when it was done. 3) Skipped the sauce making part altogether and added two jars of Barilla Tomato Basil pasta sauce. 4) Simmered that while the ziti was cooking. 5) Used one bigger dish and one layer of noodles, sauce, then cheese. I happened to have some fresh basil so I sprinkled that on top of the whole thing. 6) Baked for only 30 minutes and that was plenty. It was great! A nice change from spaghetti or lasagna.

A big hit when you're making for lots of people with different tastes! I used hot italian sausage, and even guests who prefer mild food (not me!) liked it that way. I also made a more sauce, as others had suggested. I wouldn't make it any other way, or I'd be afraid it would be bland and dry. Even still, if you prefer a bit more flavour, bring some hot sauce to the table!

Kid approved and they're hard to please! I added a little feta cheese with basil and omitted the mushrooms - excellent!

This was a good change to how I traditionally make sausage. I was not crazy about it, but my family liked it. It felt that it was a little too dry and needed more seasoning. I think next time I will add Italian seasoning, more garlic, red and green peppers, more onion and more tomato sauce. I'll let you know how it goes!!

Excellent recipe. Thank you. I agree that it needed more sauce so I modified that. I also added fresh minced garlic to the onion and sausage. I had family in from out of town and they loved it!

I was really excited to try this dish after reading all the rave reviews. So I made it and only changed a few things. I didnt use celery as this just doesnt sound good with a heavy pasta dish. I also used italian baking sauce instead of tomato sauce. Thats it. Everything else was as the receipe states. It was good, but nothing to write home about. I don't think I would make it again, although it wasn't bad, it wasn't spectacular for the longer than I'd like prep time

I call this poizza pasta to get the kids to eat it. They love it and ask me for it all of the time. I ahve made several variations of this recipe and have found that the favorite is to omit the celery and mushrooms (we just don't like mushrooms), add sliced pepperoni and a little extra sauce. YUM!

This was a great quick dinner. I made a few adjustments. Several reviews said that it needed more sauce, which I ended up doing. I also added a little bit of red wine, tbsp sugar, thyme and rosemary. When browning the sausage, I added green peppers instead of celery. My husband went for seconds and thirds of this dish! Even my 4 year old daughter who is a picky eater loved it.

This is great, but I don't know how fair my review is because I made a lot of changes (due to taste and what I had on hand). It's a WONDERFUL base recipe! I used ground, hot sausage, doubled the onion and tomatoes, increased the tomato sauce, omitted the salt, used mezzi tubetti pasta, less mushrooms, doubled the cheese, added some fresh grated romano cheese, and didn't mix the sauce in a saucepan - I go the water boiling, then did step one, and cooked fresh minced garlic (instead of powder) with the meat, then added the sauce ingredients (and 1 tea. sugar) to it. I layered noodles (which were done cooking when the sauce was) in a 9X13" pan, then the sauce mix, then cheese, and repeated. I only needed to bake for 30 min.

I was disappointed with this recipe. I had to add a lot of sauce which, though it made the dinner better, makes the five star decieving. I like Italian sausage but I thought this recipe was pretty heavy. The basil and mushrooms were nice touches. Overall, it was ok but it definetely wasn't anything revolutionary.

This was wonderful! I used Owens Italian sausage, which comes in a tube like breakfast sausage, so I didn't have to worry about the casing issue. Yummy!
