Gluten Free Baked Penne With Sausage and Spinach

I love a good pasta dish.  I'd have to say, this Gluten Free Baked Penne with Sausage and Spinach is just that...a good pasta dish.  The fresh spinach and the tomatoes keep this dish tasting light.  You can use an Italian sausage, but I really like the combo of a chicken and apple sausage to pair with the spinach, tomatoes and olive oil.   Topped with the melted mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, this pasta is high on the "yum" meter!
