A hearty and flavorful dish with Italian sausage, sautéed bell peppers, onions, and garlic, simmered in marinara sauce. This delicious meal can be served as a sandwich or over pasta for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of Italian sausage
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 jar (24 oz) of marinara sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the sausages to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the marinara sauce, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
- Serve: Serve the sausage scallopini hot, either on a toasted roll as a sandwich or over a bed of pasta. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Enjoy your meal!
