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

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Turn oven on to 425 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.
Layer spinach, pasta, marinara, and cream cheese in provided tray. Top with shredded cheese. Spinach will wilt and cream cheese will melt as meal bakes. -
2 Add the Sausage
Remove sausage from casing, if necessary, and break into pieces. Place sausage pieces on pasta.
-
3 Bake the Dish
Bake uncovered in hot oven until browned and sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 15-20 minutes.
Carefully remove tray from oven. Stir until cream cheese is incorporated. Bon appétit!
