This recipe was delicious and very hearty! DH was in heaven, as I rarely allow him to eat sausage. I didn't change a thing about the recipe, I only added the crushed red pepper at your suggestion, which gave it a tiny bit more heat. I thought the smokey flavor of the paprika went very well with the sausages. This will be on my winter pasta rotation from now on!

Very nice dinner for a cold, winter night.
