Instructions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all of the baked penne ingredients together in a 9×13 baking dish. Cover tightly with foil (double layer isn’t a bad idea). Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove foil (HOT HOT HOT) and give it a stir. Add spinach and top with Parm, and brown it up for 3-5 minutes under the broiler.
Assemble the pasta bake. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, add about ¼ cup sauce to the bottom of the pan. Top the sauce with pasta, chicken sausage, vegetables, parmesan cheese, water and jars of marinara sauce. Then add salt, black pepper, garlic cloves, and Italian seasoning.
This no-boil pasta bake is super customizable and can be adjusted to your family’s preferences. Protein - Use shredded rotisserie chicken, diced grilled chicken, small frozen meatballs, or even ground beef, ground chicken, or ground turkey. The ground meat will need to be browned on the stove beforehand.
