I used to be able to find really giant shells, but now all I can find are about 2 inches when cooked. They call these giant, but they really aren't. Did Mueller's quit making the really big ones?

Excellent! Easy to make, had great taste, I added small slices of yellow squash to it also and 2 kinds of sausage, it smelled so good, no one wanted to wait till it was done.~ thankyou -
I loved this dish! It had an amazing flavour! instead of using three green peppers, I used one green and one red, and half a large red onion. I also used real garlic instead of garlic powder. This was a great dish, and I will make it often! Thanks so much princess buttercup! -
A very tasty, easy to prepare dish. I didn't have any penne pasta so I used rotini, and only 2 peppers (mine were large). The next time I would fry the sausage first then add peppers and onions and stir fry. This would eliminate the need for olive oil but also let the meat brown which it does not fixed this way. Although still good fixed this way I just like the meat browned. I also used canned fire roasted diced tomatoes and the sugar puts a different twist to this dish which is good for a change. Makes a very good meal served with a salad and garlic bread. Thanks for posting. -
This deceptively simple recipe is just bursting with flavour..I had bought some kielbasa on sale , so I searched this site and decided to try this one, and boy I'm glad I did; we just loved this with lashings of parmesan cheese....YUMMMMMMMM!

Great recipe! The only modifications I made were: substituting a red bell pepper for 1 of the green and adding a bit more sugar. I was concerned that it might be a bit too tomato(ee) for my children, but it wasn't! It received compliments from all (ages 4-15), Not a common occurance :-)

This was a tasty one-dish meal, but I made a few modifications. I added another can of diced tomatoes...I thought the one can made the dish too dry (probably because of the broccoli flowerlets I added as an additional veggie!) I chopped the bell peppers and onions instead of slicing them out of personal preference, and also added minced garlic along with only 1/2 tsp of the garlic powder. I included some fresh parsley and fresh basil at the end. Thanks for the recipe. We will definitely eat it again!
