Amount / Quantity	Ingredients
1	French Baguette, thinly sliced (or a Gluten Free Bread)
¼ cup	Butter, softened
½ teaspoon	Garlic salt, plus more for sprinkling
8 oz.	Ricotta cheese
4 oz.	Mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 teaspoons	Italian seasoning, divided
1 (12 oz.) box	Jones Dairy Farm All Natural Little Pork Sausage Links, thawed
24 oz.	Marinara sauce

Preheat the broiler to high. Spread butter on baguette slices, sprinkle with garlic salt, and place on a sheet pan in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Broil baguette slices for 2-4 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside.
Meanwhile, stir together ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Slice thawed sausages into thin slices. Brown in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and cook until sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir marinara sauce into sausage and bring to a boil. Dollop with ricotta cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Broil on high until cheese is melty, about 3-4 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil ribbons and serve with garlic bread crostini for dipping.
