What do you need:

  • 1/2 kilo of Italian sausage
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • olive oil, for frying
  • Chopped fresh parsley to garnish

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet, then cook the sausages until cooked through and browned. When ready, add bell pepper, onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add the pasta, chicken broth, and marinara sauce. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente. Finally add the mozzarella and heavy cream.

Italian Sausage Subs with Cheese and Garlic

What do you need:

  • 2 cups marinara or tomato sauce
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
