This was a wonderful recipe. If you like hot food you may want to add a little more of the cajun seasoning. I’ll be trying this recipe again with chicken.
It was great! I give it a 10!
WOW!!! I loved it.
I gave this recipe 5 smiley faces out of 5 in my cookbook. This recipe was excellent and I absolutely loved it. Instead of pasta I poured it over rice, but that was the only change I made. IT WAS PERFECT!
I love this recipe! I have given it to many friends & tehy all LOVE it!!!
I love this recipe and everyone I have made it for loved it too!
This is wonderful! I forgot to add the cheese the first time and we liked it so much I don’t use cheese at all to cut more calories.
We loved this recipe. However, I added a can of corn and omitted the cheese.
This dish was a hit at my house. I will definately make it again.
We love this recipe at my house. Tastes great, very filling I rate this a 10. I have given the recipe to a few of my friends and they love it too.
This was so yummy. It was really unexpected how delicious this was. I substituted whole wheat noodles and didnt add the red pepper since they give me indigestion. It didn’t hurt the recipe at all. YUMMY!
This recipe was great! I added another can of diced tomatoes because it seemed like something was missing. My husband loved it, too and didn’t even notice that it was turkey sausage!!!
Awesome Recipe. Everyone loved it and have asked for this recipe to be added to my list. I give it a 10 for a low cal recipe.
Love the simplicity of this recipe! We add more kielbasa (I think we use a whole package of the Turkey Store hot Italian sausage) and more diced tomato to make this dish more hearty. My husband and 16-month old love it!
