A meal for a cold winter's night

I love recipes that fill the house with delicious aromas of roasting garlic & onions.  The ones that make your toes curl with delight as you savor each and every bite.  This is my new favorite comfort food packed with flavor but not heavy on the calories.  Plus, its just darn pretty in the bowl.

I make mine with Johnsonville Pork & Chicken blended mild Italian sausage.  I've made it before with Italian turkey sausage and to be honest, its disappointing because the sausage is a little too dry.  Don't get me wrong, I like Italian turkey sausage cooked into pasta sauce, but without any sauce its just a little bland by itself.
