Spinach and Sausage Strata Recipe

This Sausage and Spinach Strata recipe is absolutely incredible!

Layers of spinach, sausage, pesto, and cheese are baked into one amazing dish. It’s really easy to throw together.

Next time I think I will make my own pesto. Check back for the recipe later! I found this recipe in Rachel Ray’s magazine.

Yield: They say 4, I say 8 - 10!

From Every Day with Rachel Ray Magazine.

I made a few substitutions because 1. I forgot some things at the grocery store and 2. we couldn't find some things at the grocery store but it still turned out fabulously!

Next time I think I will make my own Pesto sauce. Check back on little Indiana for a recipe!
