Instructions

Preheat oven to 375.
Grab a large 9 x13 baking dish and scoop 1 cup of the store bought spinach and artichoke dip into the center of the pan.
Layer 1.5 cups of uncooked pasta noodles around the edges of dip, then pour 3 cups of chicken broth over noodles. Note: short shapes like penne, bowties, or rigatoni are especially good here because they catch that creamy sauce in all the little ridges and corners.
Use a sharp knife to slice 10oz of chicken sausage links into coin shapes approx 1/4" thick. Note: For added flavor, I like to get a sausage that has Italian seasonings to it like this one, and add them to the pan.
Sprinkle 1 pint of cherry tomatoes over the the noodle mixture along the edges of the pan. Leave the spinach and artichoke dip in the center of the pan.
Tightly cover with tin foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and give everything a good stir. Add 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves. Bake (uncovered) for another 10 minutes or until noodles are tender.
This is an optional step to make it extra cheesy. Add 1 cup of shredded parmesan cheese and pop back in oven for 2-3 mins until cheese it melted.
Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and serve warm.
