Adjust oven rack to the top position and preheat oven to 425F. Wash and dry produce.
Finely dice @tomato{1%cup}. Peel and mince @garlic{2%cloves}.
Place tomatoes in a #medium bowl{}; season with a big pinch of @salt{1%pinch} and @black pepper{1%pinch}.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @cream cheese{4%oz}, garlic, 3 tbsp @water{}, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Microwave for ~{30%seconds}. Stir to combine.

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{2%tbsp} in a #medium pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @Italian Pork Sausage Mix{12%oz} and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through ~{4-6%minutes}.
Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a plate, reserving fat in pan.
Return pan to medium heat. Sprinkle @flour{2%tbsp} over pan; whisk to combine. Cook for ~{1%minute}, whisking continuously. Remove pan from heat. Add cream cheese mixture and whisk until smooth.

Once flatbreads are toasted, remove from oven. Heat broiler to high or oven to 500F.
Carefully spread sauce over flatbreads; top with seasoned tomatoes to taste (draining first) and sausage. Massage the pesto packet for ~{5%seconds}; snip the corner and lightly drizzle flatbreads with @pesto{2%tbsp} to taste. Evenly sprinkle with @Mozzarella Cheese{1%cup}.
