Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven: Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Brown the Sausage: Cook the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain off excess grease.
3️⃣ Cook the Veggies: Add the mushrooms and bell peppers to the skillet; sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften.
4️⃣ Mix in Sauce & Spices: Pour in the marinara, then add the Italian seasoning and optional red pepper flakes. Let it simmer briefly so the flavors meld.
5️⃣ Portion into Bowls: Divide the sausage-and-veggie mixture evenly into four oven-safe bowls.
6️⃣ Add Toppings: Scatter mozzarella cheese and sliced olives over each portion.
7️⃣ Bake: Set the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
8️⃣ Finish & Enjoy: Allow to cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil. Serve warm and dig in!
