Really great! Hard to believe it's so low in fat! I used hot chicken italian sausage, doubled the pasta and sausage and garlic...left all other ingredients as stated. I didn't have Sage so used poultry seasoning instead...wonderful! Couldn't believe it but my 2 and 4 year old devoured it! I served it with fresh grated parmesan. Super flavorful, super filling...we loved it! Thanks for posting! Pictures to follow shortly!
