I made this recipe the very first time it was released in the Kraft magazines. I absolutely loved it, it was actually very saucy and not dry at all. But just the other night I made it for my husband using this online recipe... It was dry and very disappointed. My husband liked it but i felt stupid for talking out of my head how good it is. I believe this recipe has been modified, because the original recipe had a very long list of items and it took a long time to make.

Delicious and easy! I improvised...used yellow onion, sun dried tomato paste, whatever vinaigrette I had in the fridge, and dried parsley flakes. Will definitely make again.

The recipe was pretty good. I agree with the late rater -- the sauce was definitely a bit dry. I needed to add more tomato paste/dressing to create a sauce that covered the rigatoni. I think rather than make this recipe...I'll just cook sausage, pasta, and then doctor-up some store-bought sauce.

This recipe was really great, but it was a bit dry. I think it would be better with more sauce worked into the recipe. Nevertheless, my family and I loved it.
