Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausages
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the sausages to the skillet and brown them on all sides (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until they begin to soften.
Add the garlic and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to combine.
Season the vegetable mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the pepper mixture. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
Serve hot as a main dish, or spoon over crusty bread or cooked pasta for a hearty meal.
