Preheat Oven & Prepare Dish:

In the same skillet, leave 1 tablespoon of sausage drippings. Add butter and garlic, sautรฉing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, and then add red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the cream thickens.

Top & Bake:

Sprinkle the top with Italian seasoning and additional red pepper flakes if desired. Cover with tin foil (sprayed with nonstick spray) and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the edges are bubbly and the cheese begins to brown.
