Subbed fresh spinach for the arugula, and added more than the recipe called for, didn't notice a difference. Turkey sausages at my grocer come in a hot italian or regular option and I've tried both and I find the hot adds a nice kick. At the same time, six cloves of garlic is A LOT, I do more like three or four.

This is delicious! It's a family favorite that I make at least once a month. Experiment with different sausage-I like Hillshire Farms Polska Keilbasa-and with different peppers. It's so good.

I found Baby Argula in the lettuce section. It comes in a plastic box. I think you could use baby spinach, since we could not taste the Argula over the regular Italian sausage I used. The Argula adds color (and nutrients) to the dish. I also used the fresh lingine sold in packages at the grocery store. Yummy!

This is one of my favorite meals. It is so tasty and my husband love it. I tis made on a regular basis at my house. I add all colors of peppers and I usually add another pepper in (for more healthy vegetables)

What could I use besides arugula. We don't care for that. Would baby Spinach work just as well? I think I'll try it. Really sounds good.

This recipe has become one of my all-time favorites! I make it for my family often, and have even made it when we had guests for dinner. No matter the circumstance, the meal always receives rave reviews. My husband, who is dieting, loves this dish, as do my preschool-aged children. I particularly enjoy the leftovers for lunch the next day.

This recipe was delicious. I used half sweet sausage and half hot sausage, and it was a nice mix. I preferred the hot sausage and would even add more arugula next time.
