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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Slice the sausage links into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot on its own or over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
