sheet pan sausage parmesan with garlicky broccoli is gluten free when you don't serve it with pasta. But we all know the pasta is the best part
Ingredients
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 small bunch broccoli about 12 ounces, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil more as needed
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ pounds hot or sweet italian sausage pricked all over with a fork
- ⅓ cup ricotta
- 3 cloves garlic 2 thinly sliced, 1 finely grated or minced
- freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- chopped basil or parsley for serving
- italian bread for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
heat oven to 450 degrees.
-
arrange sausage in a single layer on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet or in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan, and roast until golden on the bottom, about 15 minutes.
-
toss broccoli with oil, red pepper flakes and salt on a quarter-size rimmed baking sheet (or use a regular sized rimmed baking sheet), and place in oven.
-
After you flip the sausages over so browned sides are on top.
-
when you flip the sausages, remove broccoli from oven and toss with sliced garlic. (reserve grated garlic for later.)
-
drizzle broccoli with a little more oil.
-
return pan to oven and continue to roast broccoli and sausages until sausages are cooked through and broccoli is tender and browned, about 5 minutes longer.
-
meanwhile, mix ricotta with grated garlic.
-
top sausage with tomato sauce and dollops of ricotta, then drizzle with olive oil and grind pepper generously over top.
-
sprinkle on mozzarella and parmesan.
-
bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the garlic is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
serve sausages, sauce and cheeses with broccoli on the side.
