Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe pan over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season sausage with ½ teaspoon kosher salt.

Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside, leaving the extra oil in the pan.
