In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Make the Dough

While the dough is rising, prepare the marinara sauce. In a saucepan, heat a little olive oil and add garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add marinara sauce and simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Sauce

Preheat your wood-fired oven to about 800°F (427°C). If you do not have a wood-fired oven, you can use a regular oven set to the highest temperature.

Preheat the Oven

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each part into a pizza shape on a floured surface. Place the rolled dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet. Spread marinara sauce over the base, leaving a small border for the crust. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella, crumbled sausage, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Shape and Assemble

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated oven stone. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.

Bake the Pizza

Slice the pizza and serve hot, enjoying this modern twist on a classic Italian American dish.

Active dry yeast

Warm water

Olive oil

Salt

Marinara sauce

Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Fresh basil leaves

Red pepper flakes

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Add the olive oil. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently and gradually incorporate the flour until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Knead the Dough

After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin to your desired thickness. Cut into your preferred pasta shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.).

Roll and Cut the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes until al dente. Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta.

Boil the Pasta

Drain the pasta and reserve a cup of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with olive oil, fresh basil, and grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
