Instructions

  • Make small "meatballs" with the hot sausage. Put them in an ovenproof dish, sprinkle with some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook for about 15 minutes or until browned.  
  • Once the meatballs are cooked, top with marinara sauce and coat the meatballs.  
  • Turn oven up to broil. 
  • Add slices of the fresh mozzarella to the top and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella so everything is covered with cheese. Broil for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey!
