Sausage

Method

Sausage Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Sausage Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, fennel seeds, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Sausage Patties

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties or leave it as bulk sausage for crumbling later.

Mushroom Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 5

    Combine Sausage and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet with the sautéed mushrooms, add the sausage patties or crumbles. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Mozzarella

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sausage and mushroom mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
