Very tasty! I used mild sausages and mini peppers. Very easy to follow recipe. I plan on making this a regular meal. -
I used a jar of marinara sauce and mild italian sausage and a mix of fusilli and shell pasta. After the sausages were cooked, I drained the pan. I used 2 red bell pepper. It's a great dish, very easy to do. Thanks Lainey :) Made for the Best of 2011 tag game -
This was really good and easy to make. I did change it up a bit because of what I had on hand. I used ground mild italian sausage and only used red peppers. I used two jars of marinara sauce. This makes a lot. Plenty for leftovers the next day. -
As simple as this is to prepare, it really is quite tasty. The peppers give it a nice "kick", too. I know I will make this again. Thanks, Lainey6605. Made for ZWT7, Mischief Makers team. -
I don't think you could ask for anything simpler. I made this exactly as posted, slicing the peppers into large dice. Thanks for sharing this quick and easy family favorite!
