"This burger is spicy and loaded with flavour. The tomato pesto is just right on the burger. Use provolone cheese or Swiss, your preference. The garlic/anchovy spinach is a nice addition from your usual toppings If you don't like spicy mix half & half hot & mild Italian sausages. The original recipe is from "Food & Wine" with some modifications by me"
