Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey and red pepper flakes. Stir gently for about 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the Italian sausage, cooking for approximately 5-7 minutes until browned.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
  5. Brush the hot baking sheet with olive oil. Place naan or flatbreads on the sheet, spreading the ricotta mixture over them. Top with cooked sausage, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  6. Bake for about 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and drizzle the honey mixture over the top. Garnish with fresh arugula or basil before serving.
