I’ve prepared this several times for visitors, and each time they raved about it. It’s an excellent Italian dish that doesn’t take much effort to prepare.

Delicious and easy!
I PUT MORE GARLIC , MARSALA , ONION AND SAUSAGE IN . VERY GOOD !
I made this exactly as written with a little bit more salt because the tomatoes had no salt added. It was really pretty easy and delicious. I think when I make this again, I will cook the sausage ahead of time so that is one less pan, I used quite a few for this. When the sausage and vegetables were ready to serve, I just added the pasta to the pan and served this way. My husband loved this. I have to say, I did not think the Marsala added much to the dish. I think the vegetable flavor overpowered any Marsala which I personally love in recipes. I know this would be a good company dish.
Basically followed the recipe, sauteed peppers, onions, sliced raw sausage 10 minutes or until almost done and then garlic, mushrooms I needed to use. Add 1 cup marsala, tomatoes and 1/2 can “Prego”. Simmered to consistency I wanted. Added farfelle to sausage mixture and served. Added fresh shredded parmesan to dish.
Nice Dinner! Quick and Easy, Very Good.
Delicious, made without the peppers. A great Gluten Free meal over rice. will make again.
As written, this recipe is a 4. With some simple tweaks, it can be a 5. Many others have commented on the same things and they would be correct about adding more tomatoes and more Marsala. It’s called Sausage Marsala, so 1 Tbsp of Marsala is only going to burn off in the pan. I used WAY more (like 1 cup) and also a large sized can of diced tomatoes and a lot more garlic. This provided a wonderful sauce. I also preferred to pan sear the sausages slices and veggies before adding any liquids so all the edges would crisp up. In the end, it was totally delicious!!
This was absolutely perfect. Needed to add more water as sausage was cooking. Added more marsala and a dash of olive oil because the skillet was so dry. Very tasty!
Delicious! May add more Marsala cooking wine next time, but it is very good as is. Easy to make! Family loved it!
This turned out to be a great dish to take to a potluck. I do use more wine and add colorful peppers. Very simple yet flavorful!
Excellent! Would be a great meal for a crowd!
Good, the sauce is a little watery. The tomatoes were more prominent than I expected.
Made it as described with just a touch more Marsala. It was OK. Nothing special. Might make it again just for something different.
I did change quite a bit based on our preferences and what I had on hand. I used about 1and1/2 LBS of sweet sausage also added 1 can of tomato paste and 2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes. I didn’t have green peppers so added one whole red and one whole yellow pepper. Also added 3 garlic cloves and 1 cup of Marsala wine. We like a saucy pasta, so as edited it was great! YUM
I made this last week and it was delicious!! My daughter agreed, and she’s picky! Just the right amount of spice, but I wish I had doubled the amount of tomatoes. Making it again this week. (it’s also good reheated).
I made this according to the recipe. It was very easy to make and was delicious. It is a keeper and will be made often!
I used ground itallian sausage, and I like how it add more flavor throughout!
This was so easy, and so full of taste. It was a big hit.
Changes I made were to eliminate the green pepper, more tomato and substituted elbow macaroni; otherwise the same. I thought it was okay, but my husband said “Don’t make it again!” Forgot to say we both thought it a waste of marsala when red wine would have worked better.
I added extra garlic. My husband and I enjoyed this meal very much
Very tasty, and a nice change from the usual tomato sauce! Added more marsala, more garlic. and more olive oil, for depth of flavor…next time will try to thicken it just a bit, so that it coats the pasta more.
