Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄4-inch-thick half moons. • Remove sausage from casing if necessary; discard casing. Place sausage in oven-ready tray; using two forks (or your hands!), break up sausage into bite-size pieces (for 4 servings, divide sausage between two trays).
• Add zucchini, couscous, crushed tomatoes, Italian herb paste, stock concentrate, 1⁄4 cup water(1⁄2 cup for 4 servings), cream cheese, half the Tuscan Heat Spice (all for 4), salt, and pepper; stir to combine (it’s OK if lumps of cream cheese remain). (For 4, divide everything between two trays.) • Top with spinach. (TIP: Evenly spread out spinach and press down, making sure no leaves hang over the edges of your tray!) Cover oven-ready tray tightly with foil; bake on middle rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) for 25 minutes (for 4, bake two trays side by side on middle rack).
• Carefully remove foil from pearl pasta sausage bake (watch out for steam!); stir until cream cheese is smooth and spinach is combined. • Top pearl pasta sausage bake with Parmesan, return to middle rack, and bake, uncovered, until sausage is fully cooked and cheese melts, 10-12 minutes more.
• Divide pearl pasta sausage bake between shallow bowls. Serve.
Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
