Wagon Wheel Pasta Toss image

I needed a quick one-skillet dish to put on the table. I thought if I added pizza sauce, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese to pasta, it might appeal to my daughter's selective palate. I was right! -Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia

This dish is a fail. The sauce was watery and the pasta was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much flour to the sauce.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning, and it was much better.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some cream.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped zucchini and bell pepper, and it was delicious!

I substituted ground turkey for the Italian sausage, and it turned out great! The dish was still flavorful and satisfying, but a little healthier.
