Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Italian Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pancetta

    In the same skillet, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess fat.

  3. 3

    Mix the Sauces

    In a mixing bowl, combine the marinara sauce and roasted red pepper pesto. Stir until well blended.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara and roasted red pepper pesto mixture on the bottom. Top with the cooked Italian sausage and crispy pancetta.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Evenly distribute the provolone cheese over the meat layer.

  3. 6

    Finish with Sauce

    Pour the remaining marinara and roasted red pepper pesto mixture over the provolone cheese, ensuring all ingredients are covered.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake the Dish

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
