A Little Slice of Heaven

1 lb. block whole milk mozzarella cheese
8 sweet Italian sausage links
1 jar marinara sauce (I used Rao's Arrabbiata sauce for a spicy kick)
4 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
Fresh chopped parsley


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut the mozzarella lengthwise into 8 - 1/4-inch strips. Using kitchen shears, cut the sausage lengthwise down the side. Place a strip of mozzarella inside the sausage and press it back into shape around the mozzarella. Repeat until all the sausage links are stuffed. Pour about 1/2 a cup of sauce on the bottom of an 8 x 10-inch baking dish. Place stuffed sausages on top of the sauce in the baking dish. Spoon additional sauce over sausage. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through (160 degrees on a meat thermometer). Remove from oven, sprinkle with the grated Romano cheese and some fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
