How to Make Peperoni Al Pomodoro Peppers In Tomato Sauce

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion and 2 cloves garlic. Slice 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 orange bell pepper into strips.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced peppers to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  4. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in a handful of fresh basil leaves (about 1/4 cup) during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  7. Serve hot or cold with crusty Italian or French bread. Delicious at breakfast, brunch, or your next barbecue!
