Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 14 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
Add the Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
Return the browned sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and cover.
Simmer the dish for 25–30 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the sausages are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread, polenta, or over cooked pasta of choice.
