Had us coming back for more. It's not exactly a recipe for two people unless you want to save the leftovers.

This was great! I cooked it exactly as printed, we love spicy food so I used jalapeno sausage and I will definitely make it again (and again)! Serve with a nice tossed salad. Makes a huge pan, but we like leftovers.

If you don't drain the tomatoes, then you can skip cooking the pasta! Use it un-cooked - the pasta will absorb the extra liquid!

Before adding the sausage, my husband grilled it for added favor! Also, if you don't drain the tomatoes and green chilies, you can add a few more lasagna noodles, to stretch the dish! Additionally, If you are limited on time; mixing the sauce, some cheese, the tomatoes & chilies with the sausage & combining using other pasta would work just fine.

I thought this sounded like an interesting twist on a very traditional dish. I was wrong. The first few bites were okay. After that, my family and I ended up throwing out the rest and having sandwiches for dinner. This dish was too rich, the flavors did not work well together, and combining it with pasta was a huge mistake. I will never make this again, and I definitely do not recommend it.
