My husband & I thought it was ok tasted like spagetti, our Guest liked it, probably will not make again. I did use extra garlic & added green peppers, it looked nice & made a lot of food. we usually just add Kilbasa to a box of Zaterans and are happy.

I added some green bell peppers and increased the garlic. It was really good. I tend to like a bit more sauce with my pasta but this recipe was so good as is that I didn't feel the need to add any extra.

This was a hit with my family. The only thing different I may do next time is put in some green pepper to give it a little more color. I used 2 packages of keilbasa in mine also. It was quick and simple to make and tasted great.
