     Very tasty and filling. The chicken sausages added an interesing flavor. Originally recipe made 4 servings, but it was so filling one serving was too much. 6 servings for this amount is more reasonable.
    I have revisited this. More like 8 servings. - 3/24/07

     I used Italian turkey sausage instead because I couldn't find the chicken sausage. I also used half a package of frozen spinach -what I had on hand and added 1 c onion. It was delicious! I will definitely make this again! I made 5 servings of a little more that 1 1/2 cup. - 8/19/12

     This was very good and SO filling. I added some red onion and lots of Italian herbs and crushed red pepper since I couldn't find fire roasted tomatoes. There was enough leftovers for dinner the next night - bonus! - 5/16/10

     I really enjoyed this recipe a lot!! The fire rroasted tomatoes make a HUGE difference. I'm never using any other type of diced tomato again. - 4/1/09

     My husband and I loved this! We had trouble finding fire roasted tomatoes so we used cans of italian style tomatoes instead. This is definitely going into our recipe rotation - 10/21/07
