Mix well to combine. Cream cheese will melt as meal bakes.Top both trays evenly with spinach. Break up sausage into bite-size pieces and top spinach in an even layer.Cover both trays with foil. Bake covered in hot oven until sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 20-22 minutes. -

Carefully remove both trays from oven. Stir well until combined and creamy. Trays will be hot! Use an oven mitt and utensil.
Evenly divide pasta and Parmesan (reserving 2 Tbsp. for garnish) between both trays. Stir to combine.Top each tray evenly with mozzarella. -
3 Bake the Meal
Bake both trays again uncovered in hot oven until cheese has melted and pasta is warmed through, 5-7 minutes.
Carefully remove from oven.To serve, top each tray evenly with remaining Parmesan. Bon appétit!
