This was really delicious. I used 1/2 cup of the salad dressing and added about 1/2 cup of the pasta water to make it a little more saucy.

This is one of me and my husband's favorite recipes. It makes a ton so we both eat it for lunch the next day too. We add the hot italian sausage for more flavor, and definitely more dressing.

I made this dish out at our trailer, very simple, and comments from everyone was "outstanding". I will make this dish over and over again.

We used Italian sausage links that we grilled, and then sliced up. I also added a can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion. I also added grated chedder cheese to the top. This was a great dish, and the family loved it.

Have to say I loved this recipe. Wonderful and easy. Nice to find an entree that everyone loves! I like to use turkey sausage which is a little healthier!

Loved this recipe! I used already ground Italian sausage, which made things even more easy, and added some oregano. Also, my husband and I don't especially like sun-dried tomato dressing, so we used French Tomato, which was great!
