I used fresh mozzarella that was already sliced, but you could use shredded mozzarella as well. Sausage, ciliegine fresh Mozzarella, Cheddar cheese, shredded whole milk Mozzarella, caramelized onions, with creamy garlic white sauce. This simple homemade sausage, mozzarella and basil pizza is absolutely delicious! With sweet Italian sausage, fresh tomatoes, basil and balsamic vinegar, it makes for a fantastic weeknight dinner.
