Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• 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.

Bake Sausage & Pepper
2

• 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.)

Toast Bread
3

• When sausage bake has 5 minutes left, toast ciabatta. Spread cut sides with half the pesto; halve on a diagonal.

Finish & Serve
4

• 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°.
