Ingredients:

1 tsp. kosher salt
¾ oz. package Nature’s Basket basil
4 cloves garlic
8 oz. Belgioioso Burrata Mozzarella
½ cup Market District seasoned Italian bread crumbs
½ cup Giant Eagle shredded Parmesan, divided
2 Tbsp. Market District extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb. Giant Eagle sweet Italian sausage
24 oz. jar Barilla marinara pasta sauce
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1 lb. Barilla mezze penne pasta

Directions:

Prep Time: 5 min. • Cook Time: 30 min.

Bring a pot of water to a boil with salt. Preheat oven to 475°F. Pick basil leaves, chop half and set aside the other half. Peel and chop garlic. Drain Burrata. Mix bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove sausage from its casing.

In a sauce pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes, breaking any large chunks up with a wooden spoon. Add garlic and pasta sauce and bring to a boil. Stir in basil and pepper and leave on low while you cook the pasta.

Once water is boiling, cook penne for 9 minutes. Strain and toss with the tomato sauce and sausage mixture. Transfer to baking dish or oven-proof sauté pan and smooth out with the back of spoon. Sprinkle with Parmesan/bread crumb mixture and bake for 15 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden brown and the dish reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160°F.

Remove pasta from oven and top with Burrata. Use a knife to open it up so it oozes all over the top of the hot pasta. Garnish with the remaining basil leaves and serve with remaining Parmesan.
