This pasta was delicious! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the mozzarella cheese melted perfectly. I also liked the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, which gave the dish a nice tang.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The combination of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil is always a winner, and the addition of country sausage gave it a nice extra flavor.
