Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Fold in the frozen peas and let cook for 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Divide the mixture evenly into six ramekins or oven-safe bowls. Top each with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry. Cut into six rounds slightly larger than the diameter of your ramekins.
Place a pastry round over each ramekin, pressing lightly along the edges to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each pastry with the egg wash.
Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit in the center of each pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Italian Pot Pies!
