A vibrant and comforting weeknight meal that transforms humble ingredients into big flavor with minimal cleanup. This simple recipe delivers the cozy satisfaction of sweet peppers, savory sausage, and aromatic herbs all cooked together in one pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Italian sausage links (sweet, hot, or a mix)
  • 2 large bell peppers, any color, sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.5 tsp dried basil
  • 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth or dry white wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the peppers, onion, and garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown sausage links for 3-4 minutes per side, then remove to a plate.
  3. In the same pan, add peppers and onion. Cook for 6-8 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Add garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in broth or wine, scraping up browned bits from the pan bottom.
  6. Return sausage to pan, nestling into the veggies. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until sausage is cooked through and peppers are tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

For a lighter option, use chicken or turkey sausage. A frozen pepper and onion mix works in a pinch. Deglazing the pan is key for building flavor. Leftovers are great for quesadillas.
