Skinny Italian Sausage and Peppers
from ButterYum
makes 3-4 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 or 6 Italian sausage links, hot or sweet
1 large white onion, sliced
2 large bell peppers, sliced (any color)
4 or 5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed in the palm of your hand
1 large tomato, diced (optional)
fresh chopped parsley and basil (optional)
Italian sandwich rolls (optional)
Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage links in oil until brown on all sides; remove from skillet and set aside.
Lower heat to medium-low and saute the onions and bell peppers in the same skillet until the onions are translucent.
Add the garlic, crushed red peppers, and oregano; continue sauteing until the onions start to caramelize.
Add the sausage links back to the pan (and add the chopped tomato if using); reduce heat to low and cover pan until sausage reaches 165F.
Serve immediately over pasta, on Italian sandwich rolls, or just place one or two sausages on a plate and top it with a generous helping of the pepper and onion mixture.
