Delicious! I added a half julienned bell pepper, used rotini pasta and Cajun sausage since that's what was on hand. Will make again as it was quick and everyone really enjoyed.

Quick and easy! I used Sweet Italian Turkey sausages and stirred the parsley in with the other herbs so it would cook a little. This recipe lends itself to additions, such as mushrooms and maybe shredded mozzarella. Thanks for a keeper. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.
