- 1 lb Italian sausage, mild or spicy
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow or green)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or white wine
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and cook until they are softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet and cook for an additional minute. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Use a fork to break up the sausage into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the vegetables back to the skillet with the sausage and stir to combine.
- Add the chicken broth or white wine to the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve the sausage and pepper mixture with pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, if desired.
