  • 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.
