If you use canned crushed tomatoes this is a ZERO PREP meal, and it's so simple. If you don't like spice, cut the spices in half and use a milder sausage, it'll still taste great.<br /><br />I have a larger family, so we usually double the recipe (without doubling the spices) and use half hot sausage, half normal or Italian, and it's just about perfect for those who hate spice, but still has enough flavor and spice for me.
