Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausages sweet, mild, or spicy, your preference
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3/4 cup chicken broth or white wine
- fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the Italian sausages. Cook the sausages, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the tomato paste to the cleared space. Cook the tomato paste for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine the tomato paste with the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables.
- Cover the skillet and let the sausage and pepper mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the lid and give everything a final stir. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth or wine to loosen it up.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve the sausage and peppers hot. Enjoy!
