Cheesy, saucy, and herby, this dish is as satisfying as it is simple to make! In our oven-ready tray, you'll combine juicy Italian sausage, marinara sauce, bell pepper, and olive oil. Once baked, you'll top with a blend of Italian-style cheeses that get all melty, then finish with dollops of pesto. Served with ciabatta pesto toast, you'll turn 5 minutes of prep into a showstopper!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve ciabatta.
• In oven-ready tray, combine sausage, bell pepper, and marinara (for 4 servings, evenly divide ingredients between two trays). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. • Bake on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until bell pepper has softened and sausage is cooked through, 30-33 minutes. (For 4, bake two trays side by side on top rack.)
• When sausage bake has 5 minutes left, toast ciabatta. Spread cut sides with half the pesto; halve on a diagonal.
• Once sausage is cooked through, evenly top sausage bake with Italian cheese blend. Return to top rack and bake until cheese melts, 30-60 seconds. • Top sausage bake with as much remaining pesto as you like. Serve family style with pesto toast on the side.
Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
