Pizza Con Salsiccia E Friarielli

Ingredients

• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
• Mozzarella cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Friarielli (1 bunch, chopped)
• Italian sausage (2 links, removed from casing and crumbled)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Pizza dough (1 pound)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to its highest setting, typically around 500°F (260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the crumbled Italian sausage and brown it. Once browned, remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside.
3. Using the same pan, add the chopped friarielli and minced garlic. Cook until the friarielli is wilted and the aroma of the garlic is permeating the room.
4. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your preferred thickness. If you're using a pizza stone, move the dough to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet that's been dusted with flour.
5. Spread the cooked friarielli evenly across the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the friarielli. Layer the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Transfer the pizza onto the heated stone in the oven, or if not using a stone, on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the robust flavors of Naples with every bite!
