Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper green, red or yellow
- 2 medium zucchini cut into rounds
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 cans cans (14-ounces each) diced tomatoes drained
- 1 (16-ounce) (16-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 9-12 ounces chicken sausage sliced, fully cooked, or turkey sausage
- ½ teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ breadstick dough homemade, recipe
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9X13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and diced pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the pepper is tender. Add the zucchini and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Stir in the drained tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken sausage, basil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid is somewhat reduced. Add 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and stir into the mixture. Spoon half of the sauce mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese over the top. Spoon the other half of the sauce over the top of the cheese and sprinkle another 1/2 cup mozzarella over the top. Arrange bread sticks in a lattice pattern (see pictures below) over the sauce, trimming to fit, if necessary. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan and mozzarella on top.
- Bake 25-30 minutes, until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Vegetables: this recipe is really adaptable for filling ingredients. If zucchini aren't in season, sub easily with another type of vegetable (corn, winter squash, green beans, etc.).
- Meat: the meat can also easily be subbed with ground beef or turkey, pepperoni, cooked chicken, etc.
- Breadsticks: even though this recipe only uses 1/2 of this homemade breadstick recipe, I make the full batch and bake the other half of the dough as normal breadsticks because seriously, who doesn't want extra breadsticks hanging around?
