this was very good. next time i make it i will use less tofurky sausage and more tomato. i had never tried organic pasta before-- i guess i got lucky and cooked it right because it was the best pasta i ever had. thanks for the recipe!

I made this last night and it was delicious. I used broccolini instead of broccoli rabe and it rocked. I also substitued organic whole wheat penne and that too was a great addition. The total taste was so delicious, lots of flavor and it was really filling. Perfect dish to make when your skeptical omni friends/family come over, expecting salad and lentils.
I tossed in some white wine too at the end and it added a little somehing special. I just discovered these podcasts, and look forward to making more of your recipes soon. Thanks a lot!
