Everyone will love this Italian flavored dish. If you want a more kid friendly version, or if you aren't a big fan of spicy food, be sure to use a mild sausage.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used whole wheat bread instead of white bread and added some chopped spinach.
