Pizza Casserole



1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium-size onion, chopped
2 sweet yellow, red or green pepers, cut in large dice
2 medium-size zucchini, cut into rounds
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cans (14.5 ounces each) no-salt-added recipe-ready diced tomatoes, drained
5 fully cooked chicken sausages (about 12 ounces), sliced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated bread sticks

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and peppers; cook 5 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic; cook 5 minutes, until barely tender.
2. Add tomatoes, sausage, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; cook until somewhat dry, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Spoon half into prepared dish. Top with 1 cup mozzarella. Add remaining tomato mixture. Arrange bread sticks on top in lattice pattern, trimming to fit. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella.
3. Bake in 350 degree F oven 25 minutes, until bread sticks are browned and filling is bubbly.
