Boy oh boy this was yummy! I lightened it up by using only 1 T olive oil and using turkey kielbasa; otherwise I followed the recipe to a "t". There isn't necessarily anything earthshattering about this--there are lots of sausage and kraut with noodle recipes. What is notable about this one is that it is the first one to capture all the flavors I want in such a dish. Usually I am left saying "well, if only it had this or that"--not so here. That said, next time I will probably take the pasta down to 8 oz-ish so each bite will have more kraut and sausage. Oh, btw, my 1 year old DS really went to town on this, so it is safe to say it is fairly kid friendly. Thanks so much for posting! Made for 123 Hit Wonders.

This sounded so weird...I just had to try! I used a lean turkey kielbasa and tofu shiritaki noodles instead of the ziti. Worked out great, very tasty. I had to try a few bites with sugar (Splenda) sprinkled on, as I love a sweet, salty, and sour taste...YUM. Will definately add the sweet next time! Thanks for posting this unique (to me) dish.

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
