What is Mozzarella?
Pronounced /moht-sah-REL-lah/
Definition
Mozzarella is a fresh, soft stretched-curd cheese, made from cow's milk or, as mozzarella di bufala, from water-buffalo milk.
Fresh mozzarella is moist and delicate; low-moisture mozzarella melts more evenly and is common on Italian-American baked dishes.

Quick answer
How do you make sausage and peppers with marinara sauce?
Brown Italian sausage in a wide pan and set it aside. Cook sliced peppers and onions in the drippings until soft, add garlic, then pour in crushed tomatoes or marinara. Return the sausage, cover and simmer gently until it reaches 160°F inside and the sauce thickens, about 20 to 25 minutes.
