Method

Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Tomato Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the San Marzano tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 2

    Grill the Onions and Peppers

    Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Toss sliced onions and bell peppers with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sausage Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from heat and drain any excess fat.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large baking dish, spread a layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom. Layer the grilled onions and peppers over the sauce, followed by the cooked sausage. Top with shredded mozzarella and crumbled gorgonzola cheese.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled dish for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
