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

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Slice the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the garlic and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Season the vegetable mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and the flavors have melded together.

Step 10

Serve hot as a main dish, or spoon over crusty bread or cooked pasta for a hearty meal.
