Sausage Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Cheese Mixture Preparation

    Combine Cheese Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated and creamy.

Assembly

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread half of the cheese mixture evenly at the bottom. Top with the cooked sausage, then add the remaining cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and chopped basil.

Baking

  1. 4

    Bake the Dish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
