📝 Ingredients
1½ lbs (700 g) Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Optional: ½ cup marinara sauce
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Brown the Sausage
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides (about 8–10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Peppers & Onions
In the same pan, add remaining oil. Sauté onions and peppers for 6–8 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
3️⃣ Combine
Slice the browned sausages (or leave whole) and return to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Add marinara if desired. Simmer for 5–10 minutes until everything is tender and flavorful.
