How to Make Easy Italian Sausage
- Place 1 lb Italian sausage links in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink inside.
- While the sausage simmers, seed and chop 1 large green bell pepper and 1 large red bell pepper into 1-inch chunks.
- In a medium bowl, combine 24 oz jar of your favorite tomato sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional).
- Once the sausage is cooked, add the chopped peppers to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Remove the sausage from the pot and drain well.
- Remove the casings from the sausages and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In an oven-safe dish, combine the sausage, peppers, and tomato sauce mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve as an appetizer or over your favorite pasta.
