Sausage Spinach Pasta Bake image

I've swapped in other meats-such as chicken sausage, veal or ground pork-and added in summer squash, zucchini, green beans and mushrooms, depending on what's in season. Also, fresh herbs really perk up the flavors. -Kim Forni, Laconia, New Hampshire

This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of sausage and it turned out great. The spinach added a nice touch of color and flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
