Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Protein

  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled sausage
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pepperoni slices

Vegetables (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers

Seasonings

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an oven-safe dish or bowl with oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Create Cheese Base: Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly at the bottom of your prepared dish to form a cheesy base layer.
  3. Add Sauce and Toppings: Drizzle the sugar-free marinara sauce gently over the cheese layer. Add cooked sausage, optional pepperoni slices, and optionally the black olives and diced bell peppers evenly on top of the sauce.
  4. Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the assembled ingredients. Stir gently if desired to blend the toppings and seasonings.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted and the toppings are heated through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired, and enjoy while warm.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free marinara sauce to keep the recipe low carb.
  • Optional vegetables add color and nutrition but can be omitted for fewer carbs.
  • You can swap the sausage for other low-carb protein options like cooked chicken or ground beef.
  • Adjust seasonings according to personal preference.
  • Ensure your dish is oven-safe before baking.
  • Letting it rest briefly after baking helps the cheese set and improves texture.
