Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box tri-color bowtie pasta
1/2 lb mild lean ground sausage
15oz jar(s) light roasted garlic alfredo sauce
1/2 bag(s) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained
4 oz pepper jack cheese, grated
3 c low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. While oven is preheating to 350 degrees, cook pasta until tender and drain. Cook sausage until there is no pink left and drain any grease (shouldn't be much with lean sausage). Thaw spinach under cool water and squeeze excess water out.
  • 2. Mix spinach, sausage, shredded pepperjack cheese and Alfredo sauce in 11 x 13 casserole dish. (After emptying the alfredo sauce jar I usually add a splash of hot water into the jar and put the lid back on and shake around to get the excess sauce and then add that to the mix also.) Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Then broil for about 10 mins until the mozzarella slightly browns and gets crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted, but still have a vibrant green color.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Season the casserole to taste. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your preferences.
  • Serve the casserole hot, garnished with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:
