Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or hot), casings removed
  • 1 pound dry pasta (penne or rotini work well)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Break it up as it cooks. Drain off excess grease and set the sausage aside.
  2. Add the sliced onion and peppers to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
  5. Add the dry pasta, crushed tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything well to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Use seasonal peppers for the best color and flavor.
  • If the pasta seems too dry before it is fully cooked, add a splash more broth or water.
  • This recipe tastes even better the next day.
