This was pretty bad. I would have been better off with a regular marinara sauce. The smoke pork sausage I used was not good and the baking burned part of the pasta. I salvaged most of the meal by throwing out the sausage and just eating the pasta.

I apparently modified this recipe way back when I added corn and peas to the ingredients list. I am pretty sure I meant for that to be a side dish.
