Servings: 8
Ingredients
- ½ pound Italian sausage
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 16 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or Italian parsley thinly sliced or chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉. In a large oven safe stainless or cast iron skillet over medium high heat, cook and crumble the sausage until it is uniformly browned and no longer pink in the center. Add the garlic and continue cooking about a minute longer, until fragrant.
- Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer over low heat for about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Taste the sauce and add salt and more pepper, if desired. Spoon the ricotta cheese over the top and then generously sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cheese has melted and is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving with toasted crusty bread slices.
