  1. loved it! thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Great verastile basic recipe. We didn't have italian sausage on hand, so I just threw in some smoked sausage that I had sauteed with onions. I also omitted the red pepper because not everyone likes the heat. I threw a cup of chopped zucchini into the sauce for some extra veggie action. Baked for about 25 minutes. The family loved it! I will be making this again. Thanks!
     
  3. This was really good. Made it exactly as posted and it was great.
     
  4. We really enjoy this rigatoni! I used Recipe #58246 which already had ample red pepper flakes so I did not add more. I used probably 2 cups of sauce and otherwise made as directed and served with Recipe #18914! Thanks for this quick and satisfying pasta dish!
     
  5. This was a big hit with my family! Delicious! I will probably cut out the red pepper, or cut back the next time I make it. It was a little too much for my family. I used finely shredded mozzarella cheese, and covered the top, did not measure at all. I will double up the recipe next time as well. Very good!
