Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausages
- 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), sliced into strips
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- Fresh basil for garnish
- Crusty bread or pasta for serving
Instructions
- 1
Prick sausages all over with a fork to prevent them from bursting while cooking.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and brown on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same pan. Add onions and cook for 3 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
- 4
Add bell peppers and Italian seasoning. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender and have nice charred edges.
- 5
Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables.
- 6
Pour in white wine, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer.
- 7
Return sausages to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the sausages.
- 8
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes until sausages are cooked through (160°F internal temperature).
- 9
Uncover and simmer for the last 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and intensify in flavor.
- 10
Remove sausages and slice on a diagonal. Return to the pan and stir through the sauce.
- 11
Garnish with fresh basil and serve over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up the incredible sauce.
Pro Tips

A mix of sweet and hot Italian sausages gives the dish balanced, interesting flavor.
💡
Roast the peppers undisturbed to get beautifully charred edges before stirring.
💡
Simmer uncovered at the end to reduce the sauce into something rich and glossy.
