How to Make It — Step by Step
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
-
Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté chopped onion and bell pepper until soft. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, then drain the excess oil.
-
Add Spinach & Seasoning: Stir in spinach, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook until wilted and well combined.
-
Mix the Creamy Filling: In a bowl, blend softened cream cheese with salt and pepper, then mix it into the sausage and spinach.
-
Assemble the Layers:
-
Lay crescent roll dough in the baking dish as the crust.
-
Spread half the marinara sauce, then add the sausage filling and mozzarella.
-
Top with another layer of dough, remaining sauce, and more cheese.
-
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Let cool slightly, then slice and serve. Each bite delivers flaky pastry, creamy filling, and rich Italian flavor — comfort food at its best.
