Wonderful Italian flavor! This was so easy to make. I used small rotini pasta in lieu of macaroni, personal preference... skipped the beans and added pepperoni instead to give it more pizza flavor. Boy did it ;) Great recipe that I will no doubt make again and again. Thanks for posting! (Made for 'Easy-Does-It' -- Photo Event)

I made this out of my Kraft Food & Family mag. I've actually made it twice now. Sooo easy!! I used turkey sausage both times. My DH doens't like green peppers so I have used frozen green beans instead. I've also used chunked raw onion (added while browning the sausage) and frozen pearl onions and liked them both. I use multigrain macaroni also. DH also asked me to add a little tomato sauce the second time. Great with crusty bread! Will make this often.

I tried this recipe when my Kraft Food & Family came in the mail, but I made a few changes. I used Italian turkey sausage to make it a little lighter. Also, I couldn't find the stir fry veggies they recommended, so I used the "Western" veggies from my grocery store which have onions, green and red bell peppers, and corn. Yum! Thanks for posting!

I live with my husband in Joliet, IL. I'm a network administrator and also teach step aerobics. My hobby during warmer weather is my vegetable garden. I love to cook and make up interesting recipes. I've recently been put on a restricted diet. No dairy, gluten, wheat, oats, sugar. So, I'm looking for ways to spice up my meals. I cook non-restricted meals often as my husband can eat whatever he wants and I love to cook for him. But, once a week, I make him something "interesting" and healthy and he has to at least try it. So far, it's been a big hit.
