Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 links uncooked sausage links (mild or spicy, your choice)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
- 8 ounces baby bella (cremini) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausage links to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and almost cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Slice the sausage links into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir everything together. Season with salt and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is fully cooked and the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot on its own or over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
