Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush mushrooms with oil; arrange rounded side down on baking sheet. Bake mushrooms until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Maintain oven temperature.
- Sauté sausage in medium skillet over medium-high heat until brown and cooked through, breaking up sausage with back of spoon, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove sausage from skillet.
- Divide sausage among mushrooms. Top each with crushed red pepper, then 2 tablespoons sauce and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese.
- Bake mushroom pizzas until heated through, about 10 minutes. Top each with basil leaf, if desired.
Tips:
- Use ripe and flavorful tomatoes for the sauce. If using fresh tomatoes, be sure to remove the seeds and dice them finely.
- Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- To prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery, don't overcook the pizzas.
- Serve the pizzas immediately after they are cooked, while the cheese is still melted and bubbly.
