Savory Italian sausages with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and garlic, perfect over pasta or on a hoagie roll.
Ingredients:
  • 4 Italian sausage links (sweet, hot, or a couple of each)
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into 2 to 3 inch-long strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into 2 to 3 inch-long strips
  • 1 bell pepper of another color (yellow or orange or purple), sliced into strips 2-3 inches long
  • 4 garlic cloves, sliced into slivers
  • 1 large sweet or yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
  • 1 small (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup Marsala or red wine (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt to taste
Instructions:
  • Brown the sausages: Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat. Add sausages and brown them gently, turning occasionally to evenly cook all sides. Remove from pan and set aside when browned.
  • Increase the heat to high and sauté the onions and peppers in the pan until they soften and start to blacken. Sprinkle with salt, then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • If desired, pour in the Marsala or red wine. Using a metal spatula or wooden spoon, scrape the pan's bottom to loosen all the flavorful browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
  • Combine tomatoes, oregano, and optional red pepper flakes in the pot, stirring well. Return sausages to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes until peppers are soft and sausages are cooked through.
  • Serve the delicious sausage and peppers and onions over polenta, penne pasta, or a hoagie roll. It can be stored in the fridge for several days. Enjoy the meal and share your feedback with a rating and review!
