  1. Perhaps it was the sausage, but I found it bland and tasteless. I had to add a can of stewed tomatoes to evey make it edible plus the parm cheese.
     
  2. Really great! Hard to believe it's so low in fat! I used hot chicken italian sausage, doubled the pasta and sausage and garlic...left all other ingredients as stated. I didn't have Sage so used poultry seasoning instead...wonderful! Couldn't believe it but my 2 and 4 year old devoured it! I served it with fresh grated parmesan. Super flavorful, super filling...we loved it! Thanks for posting! Pictures to follow shortly!
     
  3. Delicious! I used sweet turkey sausage and more spinach than it called for. I also threw in some red pepper flakes for a little zing.
     
  4. This was wonderful! You would never guess that it's Weight Watcher's. My husband raved and wants to make it again soon
     
  5. This was so simple and very good. The smell while cooking was great and whetted the appetite. I did add some grated parmesan cheese once it was plated. I believe we will be having this again. Thank you, NurseDi, for a healthy and tasty meal.
