Ingredients:
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausages to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until they’re browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the browned sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and cook for another 10-12 minutes, allowing the sausages to cook through and the flavors to meld.
- Once cooked, remove the pan from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces if desired, and serve warm, garnished with fresh basil or parsley if using.
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables while they cook. If you have leftovers, this dish stores well in the refrigerator and can be easily reheated for a quick lunch or dinner.
Pair it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
