I used kraft italian dressing and mixed it altogether with the cheeses and baked it in the oven for 15 min. My husband says "Make this again!"

This is a very awesome quick dinner. I made it after grocery shopping and was done by the time I had all the groceries put away. I added peppers as well. I will definitely make this one again!!

My husband made this for dinner last night, and everyone loved it! I made it a little easier for him by baking the sausages first, he just had to cut them and heat them. It's even good cold, makes a great pasta salad...two of the kids even took leftovers for lunch today!

instead of the regular tomatoes, I add the italian stewed tomatoes and I just cut them up a bit, it tasted really good

It was good. I didn't like the tomatoes in it thow. I won't use them next time. It was easy and fast to put together.

This recipe is extremely easy to make and is very tasty. It's a nice pasta dish that isn't too saucy, the liquid from the tomatoes is just enough and mixing the cheese in while it's still hot makes it perfectly cheesy.
