This is the same recipe as Kittencalskitchen that has RAVE reviews. Only difference I found was the kind of pasta used. Recipe #102506. I made it and it went together easily. The only change I made was in lieu of ground beef I added finely chopped cabbage to the sausage and onion (sneaking in more veggies for the family.)Reply
