Make the Marinara Sauce

Combine and Serve
Slice the cooked sausages and return them to the skillet with the marinara sauce. Stir until the sausages are well coated in the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover the skillet until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
