Ingredients
6 uncooked Italian sausage links
6 mozzarella cheese sticks
1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Using a knife or kitchen scissors, carefully slice down one side of each sausage, cutting halfway through but not all the way.
Insert one mozzarella stick into each slit. Gently press the sausage back into shape to enclose the cheese.
Spread marinara sauce evenly across the bottom of a baking dish.
Arrange sausages in the dish, cut side facing up.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, until sausages are fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
Serve hot with extra marinara if desired.
Notes
Use sweet or spicy Italian sausage depending on your preference.
For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan or Italian seasoning over the top before baking.
Serve over pasta, in hoagie rolls, or alongside roasted vegetables.
Internal temperature should reach 160°F for safe consumption.
