Easy, GREAT Flavor and light. I left the sausage chunks fairly large and put a couple more cloves of garlic. Served over whole wheat thin spaghetti this was a delight my husband and I will enjoy again! - 8/24/13

I adore this recipe. I made it tonight from my cookbook and was so excited to see that someone had already posted it so I could log it. We added a handful of spinach too! I made the others this dish with regular pasta and I held back some sausage mixture for myself with whole wheat pasta. Loved it! - 8/8/13
