How to Make Giada's Sausage Peppers And Onions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
- Remove sausage from skillet and set aside. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant.
- Add 2 tablespoons tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Pour in 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine (or substitute with chicken broth or white wine) and 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Bring to a simmer, then add the cooked sausage back to the skillet.
- Cut the sausage into 1-inch pieces, if desired. Stir to combine.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
- Serve hot, over pasta, rice, or in crusty bread rolls (see optional sandwich instructions below).
- **Optional Sandwich Instructions:** Split rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread from the bottom half, being careful not to puncture the crust. Fill the bottom half with the sausage mixture, top with the other half of the roll, and serve immediately.
