This was a delicious dish, however, I think I will make more of the sauce next time as it was a little dry. Over all, it had a very good taste. Thank you for sharing!

It has potential. It uses a basic white sauce or roux but the proportions would be better with 1/2 c of butter, and less milk. I quickly fried garlic in the oil from the sausage, which gave it a fresh garlic punch.

Oh...My...GOODNESS!! I think there are times when there are just not enough stars, and this is one of them! This is a to die for comfort food type casserole, oh my....and it's so easy to make! It's creamy and cheesy and ooohhhhh so good! I used *hot* Italian sausage and a "pizza blend" shredded cheese for this recipe. Well, I bet we can all guess that YES I WILL be making this again and again. Winner winner pasta dinner! Made for PAC Fall 09.
