"This recipe was easy, fast, and delicious. I substituted multi grain rotini for the egg noodles, and used sundried tomatoe flavored chicken sausage instead of italian sausage. I also added about 1/3..." See more cup ff half and half, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, and lots of freshly ground black pepper to the sausage and garlic for the last minute or 2. This gave more of a sauce to the pasta. The sausage definitely makes this dish!"

I used a different pasta and hot italian sausage .before serving I drizzled the whole dish with more olive oil and sprinkled red pepper flakes on top with..." See more the cheese. My child of course complained about the missing sauce but my husband and I thought it was wonderful. I would make this again!"
