I saw this recipe on an episode of Rachael Ray and changed it a little bit. It's super easy (a trend in all my recipes...) and it was an awesome leftover too.
1 loaf of Italian bread
Spinach (about 3 or 4 bags)
1 package of breakfast sausage (like Jimmy Dean)
Shredded Provolone
Garlic
Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the top off of the bread and scoop out the middle soft part of the bread. Make sure the save the top piece of the crust. Cook the sausage and set aside once it's done. Cook the spinach, adding as much or as little garlic as you'd like. Once both the sausage and spinach are cooked, mix them together and fill the emptied loaf of bread with the mixture. Sprinkle a generous amount of the cheese over the top. Replace the top of the bread, wrap the entire loaf in foil, and bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
The actual recipe called for broccoli rabe instead of spinach, but like most of RR's recipes, she said any green could be used. She said you could also experiment with the kind of meat used. She also loaded cheese on top. She sprinkled parmesan, shredded provolone, and huge slices of mozzarella. I thought the provolone was plenty though.
My roommate and I made this last week, but she is a vegetarian. So instead of getting a large loaf of bread, we each got a couple big sausage rolls and made individual servings. She used Boca breakfast patties and cut them up instead of the sausage. We each made 2 rolls and ended up eating only 1 each, so I reheated the second one in the over the next day for lunch. It was just as good the next day! We also used the bread we scooped out and dipped it in hummus.
