Directions
Baked Pasta With Chicken Sausage, This recipe makes two pans of pasta Serve one tonight, and keep the other in the freezer for up to three months To freeze, prepare the dish through step 4 ; let cool completely before covering tightly with plastic wrap and placing in the freezer, I couldn’t find smoked chicken sausage or fontina cheese, so used fancy chicken sausages that I cooked, then cut up I also used swiss/mozz/parm cheese Turned out great! The sauce was more work than I prefer, but was good! I might try with store bought sauce and spruce it up with 1/2 and 1/2 or something My spinach clumped together when I cooked it with the pasta, I might cook it separately next time Great recipe, and just enough different than regular pasta! Editing to add that we ate this from frozen tonight and it was great! I baked at 350 from frozen about 1 hour, then uncovered about 10 mins
