"I just made the one of the best creamy macaroni and tomato dish I’ve ever had! I got tired of the same old stuff and started experimenting…It’s quick, pretty cheap, easy to make and very versatile. Try it with sweet, spicy or mild Italian sausage or even ground beef, turkey or chicken."

This was sooo good, especially with the cold wintry weather we are having! I had to use local equivalent products, but other than that I made as recipe, and I did add some sliced mushrooms and zuccinins and let them cook in the sauce. Before I srved I put it into a casserole dish and let it bake for another 15 minutes or so, and then served with crusty olive and herb ciabatta, wow, fabulous dinner, thank you kcdelong! made for PRMR tag game
