Introduction

Another recipe I collected. I loved the full fat version of this I had with a friend. I was glad to find a heart healthy version. Still very good. You can substitute whole wheat or a plus type variety of pasta. I prefer the sausage sliced into rounsd or diagonal cut. It looks more appealing. Another recipe I collected.
