Pasta Bake with Spinach &amp; Sausage (No Boil!)

penne (we recommend this one for gluten-free)

pasta sauce

chicken broth

heavy cream

Italian seasoning

garlic powder

coarse sea salt

pepper

chicken

spinach,

Italian cheese

2. Add the pasta, sauce, broth, cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sausage to a 9&#215;13 pan and stir the ingredients until well combined.

3. Cover the dish as tightly as you can with foil. The foil must be tight in order to steam the pasta. Then, place it in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.

4. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and test the pasta for doneness, if it is still a bit tough, cover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. If it is fully cooked, stir in the spinach, sprinkle the mozzarella over top and bake an additional 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and browned.

The pasta will definitely cook all the way through. I have been making my lasagne, using dry noodles, for years. The liquid absorbs into the pasta as it bakes enhancing the flavor and keeps it from being soggy.

Um, holy cow this is delicious!! So, so easy to throw together! Definitely keeping it in the rotation.

I didn't have the chicken sausage on hand so I browned ground Italian sausage. This dish came together quickly and easily and tasted great. No issue with the pasta cooking -- I actually used a double layer of foil because that's how I bake my rice and it's perfect every time. Bonus: my family ate spinach!!!

This turned into mush in a pan. My not picky at all, always starving, teenager won't even touch it.

What an amazing recipe, from an amazing group of women!!

I followed the recipe to a T and used arrabiata sauce for spice and it was amazing! 

This will definitely become a staple

My whole family loved it! My 3 year old said thank you for making it. Delicious, easy and balanced. Thank you.

Made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious!!  Thank you , Cassy, for this fabulous recipe!  Sharing it with my friends! It’s absolutely perfect for a chilly night .

That was delicious and so easy to make, thanks for sharing! Used chorizo instead of sausage and it turned out great.

This was amazing! I omitted the cheese and heavy cream/milk and it still turned out perfect. I think it has even more flavor than traditional pasta and meat sauce from cooking the noodles in the sauce.

Delicious! I used HOT sausage that I cooked up ahead of time and fresh spinach. I omitted the salt, because the hot sausage had plenty already. I even screwed up the cooking time and my picky family (who cannot rely on my cooking, bless their hearts) gave it two thumbs up!

This is such a hearty, easy meal! Husband approved and I really appreciate how quickly it goes together at 8 months pregnant!

So easy and tasty! Made this twice already for my family and once for a new mom. Big hit all around! (Once I made it with ground beef and it was just as good!)
