I found this recipe in Bon Appetit magazine in 1995 and my family absolutely loves it. It's a staple recipe especially for large get-togethers. TIPS: Increase the garlic, Double the beans (use red kidney beans, drained), double the Fontina and Parmigianna. Season with Accent, Mrs. Dash, and Nature's Seasons in addition to the others in the recipe.

This is the same recipe as Kittencalskitchen that has RAVE reviews. Only difference I found was the kind of pasta used. Recipe #102506. I made it and it went together easily. The only change I made was in lieu of ground beef I added finely chopped cabbage to the sausage and onion (sneaking in more veggies for the family.)
