This recipe was insanely simple and delicious. I saw it on a low carb site and instantly wanted to try it. I am so glad I did. It was yummy Italian goodness. You could definitely serve this with a side of pasta or on a toasted roll for a sub sandwich too.
INGREDIENTS
1 pack of sweet Italian sausage
links
5 string cheese
Marinara or crushed tomatoes (I used a large can of crushed tomatoes)
Mozzarella
Optional: spinach and one mini
sweet bell pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray an 8 x10 pan with nonstick spray.
Use kitchen scissors or a knife to cut a slit down the middle of the sausages. Do not cut all the way through and do not remove the casing. Lay a mozzarella stick inside each sausage and press it back into its shape.
Pour a small layer of marinara on the bottom of the pan. Put the sausages casing side down. Top with some baby spinach and diced sweet bell pepper, then the rest of the marinara sauce. I sprinkled with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, then a bit of mozzarella over the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 10 more minutes or until the top layer of cheese is melted.
Note: You don’t have to do the spinach.
I just thought it would be fun. Could probably throw some mushrooms, onions or
other veggies in too if you wanted.
