Recipe Box, Easy Sheet Pan Supper

Whew!
It has been a whirlwind holiday this year,
and if you’re like me, you are surrounded by boxes,
decorations to put away, and a general mess…
You might be tired of the kitchen, preparing food,
and generally exhausted from holiday fun…
BUT you still need to eat!
This sheet pan supper is an easy solution to “What’s for dinner?”
This is a very satisfying sandwich that is a meal in itself
Simple ingredients, easy prep
The vegetables and sausage roast together on a sheet pan
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven
While sausage and vegetables are cooking,
simmer sauce with seasonings, or use homemade sauce
Cut the bread into 6 inch lengths,
and slice in half horizontally,
not quite all the way through, leaving one side attached
Spread butter on the inside of rolls
Sprinkle with garlic powder and a generous amount of Parmesan cheese
Place in toaster or broil until golden and cheese has melted,
and keep warm
Lay 3 links of sausage on each bread bottom
Top with onions and tomatoes
Cover with hot marinara and sprinkle with more cheese
Garnish with fresh basil if desired
