Looking for a healthy dish the whole family will love? Nancy Zimmerman turns to this fast flavorful pizza entree that fills her Cape May Court House home in New Jersey with a simply wonderful aroma. “Refrigerated bread sticks make the crust fuss-free and any leftovers freeze well for another busy day,” she points out. TIP: You can also substitute green peppers instead of yellow and red.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, diced
1 medium sweet red pepper, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, drained
3/4 pound johnsonville® smoked sausage, sliced
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute onion and peppers in oil for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add zucchini; saute 4-6 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, sausage, tomato paste, salt, Italian seasoning, pepper and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until heated through.
3. Spoon half of the sausage mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; top with remaining sausage mixture. Separate breadsticks; arrange in a lattice pattern over the top. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
