Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• 1 lb hot Italian turkey sausage
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
• 1 1/2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Split bread lengthwise and hollow it out. Cut in half across to make 4 shells.

3. Brown sausage in a skillet over medium-high, breaking up large pieces with a spoon.

4. Add bell pepper, onion, and garlic; cook 3-5 minutes. Add spinach. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

5. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add ricotta and parmesan and combine well. Fill bread shells and top with mounded mozzarella and provolone.

6. Bake in hot oven until cheese melts and bubbles and bread is super crisp, about 10-12 minutes.

7. Top with oregano and crushed red pepper and serve with marinara.
