    I used sliced tomatoes that I cooked down with the peppers and onions. I used Italian spices to flavor it and 1/2 c. low sodium chicken broth. Overall, very yummy. - 4/29/12

    One cup = 8 oz. so how can you "Stir in 1 cup of the cheese Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese" if the recipe only calls for one cup of cheese total? Think you meant 16 oz. of cheese? - 7/30/11

    made this last night as a way to use up some leftovers, tho did change it up a little as no onions or peppers, added an ear of corn and used tricolor pasta wheels instead as well. Pretty good, even approved of by a picky 13yo - 7/8/11

    Loved this! I needed to eat more veggies, so I added a TON of sliced peppers, onions, julianned carrots and broccoli. It ended up being a big batch, so my husband and I had leftovers for days. - 2/20/11

    This turned out awesome. I accidentally put homemade chili in it instead of spaghetti sauce though. I need to learn to label my frozen items. It was very filling and tasty! - 1/27/11

    Excellent and easy to make. Almost could be a meal by itself. I cut up my sausages instead of whole ones and mixed that in for even pieces throughout. The whole family loved it and will keeps this recipe around for lots of future use. - 2/22/10

    This was a very tasty and easy to make meal. We did some substitutions such as the pasta type and instead of ground italian sausage we used leftover grilled links that we cut up into rounds to make use of what we had in the fridge/cabinets. It made a great meal with plenty of leftovers for lunch. - 4/14/09

    Made this dish tonight and it's very good. We used Ziti and did not use the spag. sauce. It just looked too good with the peppers (1/2 green & 1/2 red) and onion to add anything else. It was great. - 9/18/08
