If baked ziti had a love child with lasagna, this sausage baked pasta would be it. Penne pasta is tossed in a sausage-laced tomato sauce with spinach, then is baked with dollops of creamy ricotta and mozzarella. It's bubbly and cheesy, and best of all, it's a cinch to make. The easy meal gets assembled and baked in a single skillet!
