I’ve been making this for years! A comfort food for sure. We also like it better with ground Italian sausage. The kids loved it too. (Minus peppers on theirs). I like to top mine with Aleppo pepper! Thanks!

A nice creamy dish of comfort food! I lightened the recipe up and used ground Italian turkey sausage (we agreed to do this again rather than sliced sausage), whole wheat penne, crushed red pepper and added red bell and jalapenos.
