Oh my flavor! When my husband ate this he said, “Now this is good eating!” I agree. I don’t treat you guys with very many noodle dishes, so when I make a noodle dish to share I really want to make it worth eating. This one fit the bill!
It really is a simple concept. Sausage, herbs, noodles, tomatoes, and cheese. You can’t go wrong! On top of the fact that it tastes SO GOOD, it is an easy dish to pull together, it makes a ton, and it has all of the workings of good old comfort food! The other great thing I like about this is that since it’s stove top you don’t have to heat up your house with the oven and so it makes this a good dish to make any time of the year!
This dish doesn’t even really take a long time to make either! While the noodles are cooking you can get everything else prepped and sauteed even! Then you mix it all together and let the magic happen (aka let the cheese melt). Serve this puppy right out of the pan you cooked it in (hey! even better! less dishes)!
I hope your family loves this one as much as mine did.
*NOTE* you need a gigantic stove top pan to fit all of this, if you don’t have one I’d suggest halving the recipe. The pan I use is 12 1/2 inches across the top.
