Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 6 (4 ounce) sweet Italian sausage links
- 2 yellow onions thinly sliced
- 1 large green pepper thinly sliced
- 1 large red pepper thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 Hoagie rolls split, for serving
Directions:
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and heat until shimmering. Add sausages and cook until browned on all sides (sausages will not be fully cooked), about 5 minutes.
-
Transfer to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice into 1-to-2 inch pieces.
-
Reduce heat to medium. To the skillet, add onions and peppers. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Return sliced sausage to pan. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook until sausage is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve on rolls if desired.
