  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Steps 1, 2, and 3, baking uncovered in hot oven until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 17-20 minutes.

  • If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as Italian sausage in Steps 1, 2, and 3, baking uncovered in hot oven until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature,17-20 minutes.

  1. 1

    Start the Sausage and Mushrooms

    Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry. Spray provided tray with cooking spray.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary. Add sausage to prepared provided tray and break into smaller pieces. Add mushrooms and spread into an even layer.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until browned, 10-12 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Sauce and Pasta

    Carefully remove tray from oven and drain excess liquid from tray. Tray will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Add flour and stir until no dry flour remains. Add cream base, pasta, garlic salt, and spinach and stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake again uncovered in hot oven until spinach wilts and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 10-15 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Stir in half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish).

    To serve, top pasta with remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
