Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Spread the drained tomatoes on the sheet and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the garlic, the red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes, stirring half way through. Set aside.
- Place the sausage links in a large skillet. Add water to a depth of about 1/4 inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook until all the water has evaporated, turning occasionally. Raise the heat and add a little of the olive oil to the pan. Cook the sausages until they are browned on all sides, turning often, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the sausage from the pan and cut the sausage into 1 inch chunks when it has cooled slightly. Set aside. Add two tablespoons of the oil to the pan and add the onions and peppers. Cook until tender but not browned, 5 minutes or so. Remove from the pan and add to the sausage.
- Add a little of the chicken stock to the pan and stir to remove the browned bits. Melt two tablespoons of butter in the pan. Add the flour and stir until completely incorporated. Cook for another minute stirring often. Slowly add the remaining chicken stock stirring to keep things smooth. Cook for three minutes or so. Add the reserved tomatoes to the sauce and stir to blend. Add the sausage, peppers, and onions to the skillet and heat gently.
- Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Melt the remaining butter and olive oil. Add the remaining garlic and brush on the cut sides of the bread. Allow it to soak in a bit. Cut the bread into one inch cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until browned, about 5 – 7 minutes.
- Place the bread cubes in a large shallow serving bowl or divide among four individual pasta bowls. Top with the sausage, pepper and onion mixture. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Pass the remaining cheese at the table
