Italian Sausage and Roasted Pepper Melange Pizza

1. Cook the Sausage

Preheat your oven to a high broil setting. Crumble the sausage into a small sauté pan and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown and fully cooked.

2. Prepare the Garlic and Capers

While the sausage cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in another small sauté pan over medium heat. Add the slivered garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Transfer the garlic along with the oil to a small bowl. Stir in the rinsed and soaked capers, balsamic vinegar, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a generous pinch of hot red pepper flakes. Add the quartered piquillo peppers to this mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.

3. Assemble the Pizza

Spread ¼ cup of Pomì strained tomatoes evenly over your parbaked pizza crust. Scatter the cooked sausage over the sauce, followed by the prepared pepper and caper mixture. Finally, sprinkle on ¼ cup of shredded fresh mozzarella and ¼ cup of shredded cacio di Roma.

4. Broil the Pizza

Place the pizza under the broiler. Keep a close eye on it, as the broiling process is quick. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is crisp, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

5. Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. Cut it into 6 slices and serve. Enjoy your flavorful Italian Sausage and Roasted Pepper Melange Pizza!
