Cheese Italian Sausage and Pasta

 I made the  cheese Italian sausage  and pasta recipe that I found at sargento website  with my  personal twist to it.  I followed their  procedure but used   different kinds of pasta and cheese.  I also used my home made sauce.  We ate it with  store-bought  garlic bread.  It was yummy.
