This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I use a sweet onion instead of white and hot sausage. I also use red wine instead of white. I use frozen peas and no need to thaw them just throw them in the sauce while it cooks.

I just made this awesome pasta for my family tonight. We have had it several times at a great restaurant downtown Chicago and now I can make it at home just as good. An easy, outstanding recipe. Thanks
