Ingredients

4 servings

1 ½ lb fresh italian-style pork sausage links (unprocessed, no nitrates or fillers)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced ¼-inch thick
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into ¼-inch strips
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp red pepper flakes
Ingredient note
Dried red pepper flakes can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid red pepper flakes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage links and sear, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6–8 minutes total. Transfer the sausages to a cutting board — they will not be fully cooked through at this point.
2
Slice the sausages on the bias into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sausage pieces register 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the center, about 4–5 minutes more. Transfer the sausage pieces to a plate and set aside.
