    O.K.
    I replaced the sausage with a couple of pieces of vegetarian breakfast sausage and crumbled vegetarian chopped meat replacement. Found the broccolli rabi taste strong and overpowering, maybe because I did not use enough suasage. - 8/4/13

    Used Turkey Sausage to lower the fat and calories. I loved it! Delicious! - 11/6/12

    Incredible!
    Yum! I omitted the pasta and the Parmesan cheese which drastically lowered the calories. It was so good that my husband and son arm wrestled over who gets to take the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. - 2/4/10
