Reviews
Ok. I made this with the following changes: added 1 12oz bag frozen peas as well as a heaping tablespoon of Better Than Bullion Ham base and red pepper flake to taste. Family liked but agreed it was very heavy. Next time will add lemon juice and spinach instead of the peas. May also add mushrooms. A good base recipe but needs tweaking to make it a family favorite.
Quick and easy recipe excellent for a cold winter dinner
Very thick and creamy, but not much flavor. I would not add the nutmeg again. I would, however, add garlic and onion, and more sausage.
The sauce is very thick and heavy!
way too much pasta to meat… flavorless!!
This is a great and easy recipe. The first time I made it I followed the directions exactly and it came out great. I have made this a few times and tried little differences to the sauce and found sauce can be adjusted any number of ways from spicy to cheesy.
