Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.25 lb Italian sausage links mild or hot
- 2 cup sliced yellow onion
- 3 cup sliced bell peppers, mixed colors
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1.25 tsp Italian seasoning blend
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp kosher salt divided
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the sausage on all sides until deeply golden. Transfer to a board.
- Slice the browned sausages into thick pieces on a bias.
- Add onions and peppers to the skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook until softened and lightly caramelized.
- Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits with a spoon.
- Add crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and remaining salt. Return sausage to the pan.
- Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and sausage is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Finish with balsamic vinegar and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Add a pinch of fennel seeds with the garlic, or swap in turkey sausage for a lighter take. Serving tip: Spoon over creamy polenta, toss with cooked pasta, or pile into toasted hoagie rolls with melted provolone. Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth.
