1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by slicing the mozzarella cheese into rounds. Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.
2
Heat the Marinara Sauce
In a saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3
Sauté the Basil
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the basil leaves and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until they wilt slightly.
4
Assemble the Sottosopra
In a serving dish, pour a layer of warmed marinara sauce. Arrange the sliced mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the sautéed basil.
5
Finish with Balsamic Vinegar
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top for added flavor. Serve immediately while the cheese is warm.
