instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    3

    Add 1 chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    4

    Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

    5

    Place 4 pieces of Italian sausage in the skillet and brown on all sides, which should take about 7-10 minutes.

    6

    Chop 4 tomatoes and add them to the skillet along with 1 tablespoon of fresh basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together.

    7

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through and the tomatoes have softened.

    8

    Remove from the oven and sprinkle 50 grams of grated parmesan cheese on top, returning to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

    9

    Once done, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
