This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the cavatelli and the sausage and they ate all of their broccoli.

I made this dish with whole wheat cavatelli and it was delicious. The whole wheat cavatelli gave the dish a nutty flavor that I really enjoyed.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some red pepper flakes and it helped to improve the flavor.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover sausage. I had some Italian sausage left over from another meal and I decided to use it in this recipe. It turned out great! The sausage added a lot of flavor to the dish.
