This was good and easy to make. I am 11 and I fixed this by myself for my family for dinner. It made a lot and I thought because the cheese got so browned on top there would be lots left over. Nope--everyone loved it.

Oh Inez, you have done it again! This was really wonderful and so flavorful! I added a can of fresh tomatoes with roasted garlic, some chopped green onions, extra garlic, and a little bit of sugar. I will be making this again and again. Thanks so much for the post. Try this everyone, try this!!! :)

This was fabulous! I added some of my dad's canned home-grown tomatoes and a little bit more cheese. We didn't have any leftovers. Thanks!

Delicious!!!This is a perfect dish for anyone who is a sausage and cheese lover. I used Italian sausage links, both hot and sweet and no beef. I sliced the links into bite size pieces after cooking. I used 8 ounces of each cheese, I also doubled the spices. I cooked the onion and green pepper in a seperate pan (I didn't have a pan big enough to cook all together)and then added to the sausage pan, then simmered for 15 minutes.

Easy, quick and tasty! My husband especially loved it and he isn't much for pasta. It would have been useful to have instructions to cook noodles #1 as I was down to the point to add them and hadn't cooked them yet. Also, baked for 15 minutes, topped with cheese and then baked for another 15 minutes as after 30 minutes the cheese would be too browned.
