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

  3. 3

    Add salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.

    Assemble the Mozzafiato

    Once the sauce is ready, spread a generous amount over your preferred base (like pizza dough or flatbread).

  2. 6

    Tear the fresh burrata and place it in the center of the sauce.

  3. 7

    Layer the hot sopressata slices evenly over the sauce and burrata.

  4. 8
