- Spread the ricotta mixture evenly in the bottom of a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
- Add the sausage mixture evenly on top of the ricotta layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sausage layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh basil. Serve hot with breadsticks, crostini, or crackers for dipping.
