Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (8-ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (3-ounce) package Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 pound sausage
1/2 (26-ounce) jar marinara sauce
6 flatbreads
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked; drain excess fat.
- Stir marinara sauce into sausage and heat through.
- Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Spread ricotta mixture evenly over each.
- Top with sausage-marinara mixture, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and flatbread edges are crisp.
- Serve hot, slicing if desired.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute sausage with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
For extra heat, use hot Italian sausage and add red pepper flakes to the ricotta mixture.
For a creamy variation, swap marinara with Alfredo sauce.
Naan bread can be used instead of flatbread for a softer texture.
