Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, remove the casing from the spicy Italian sausage and crumble the sausage into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add Prosciutto

    Once the sausage is cooked, add the prosciutto to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the prosciutto to crisp slightly while mixing with the sausage.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the basil pesto. Cook for about 2 minutes until heated through and well mixed with the sausage and prosciutto.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the sauce is heating, chop the roma tomatoes and set them aside. Slice the kalamata olives and pepperoncini.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked sausage and prosciutto mix with the chopped roma tomatoes, kalamata olives, and pepperoncini. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the feta cheese and four cheese blend over the top of the mixture in the serving bowl. Toss gently to incorporate the cheeses.

  7. 7

    Garnish

    Finish by garnishing with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy!
