You were right on when you said "If you want to impress someone, this is the dish". I fixed this last night for my neighbors and I and it got "Ummm's" all around the table. Talk about a lot of flavor! True...it takes some prep time but it's so well worth it when you bite into it. We all truly loved this. My neighbor said he'd make it next time but he wants to use real garlic. I can't wait. Thanks for a great recipe.

My family and I enjoyed this. I did have to add a bit more seasoning to the sauce. I used 1 lb of the sausage and 1/2 lb of ground beef. Thanks for sharing. Made for Zaar Cookbook tag game.

Delicious! We had limited food in the house, and this recipe worked out for us. I think next time I'll double the Italian sausage, as it's so good.

My Hubby and 2 1/2 yr old loved this. I added 3/4 cup of red wine to the tomato sauce for a different flavor and doubled the cheese as others suggested. Turned out Great!! Thanks

This was very good but as the other reviewers have mentioned, it was a little dry. Therefore i will double the cheese mixture in the future. This almost as good as my lasagne, thanks!
