PLEASE NOTE:  Courtney made a few modifications to the recipe above--> "I like it really cheesy so I use a bag and a half of the Quattro farmarggio cheese mix. Instead of bolognese sauce I use the three cheese marinara and I also add sautéed spinach and mushrooms to the chicken sausage before layering"
