EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS
My Mom made these often when I was growing up and I have always loved them! I think this is the most authentic and traditional way to make these.Traditional Sausage and Peppers do NOT have tomato sauce! We always ate them on Italian sub rolls with mustard but you could eat these alone with good crusty bread on the side. This serves 8 and can easily be scaled down or increased depending on how many you want to feed.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS STIR FRY
You can cook it with hot Italian sausages as in the directions below or you can make it with mild or sweet sausages. If you do, you may want to omit the peppers and add either a touch of honey, syrup, or brown sugar, and sliced tart apples . Either way, I think I'd keep the onions...but that's a personal choice. You can also add chili flakes or parsley or any herb/spice that suits your tastes. If you want to serve it over pasta, you can add a can or two of spaghetti sauce and slice the sausauges before frying. This recipe is so versatile, you can't go wrong.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. Use fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a good-quality olive oil. These ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much food to the pan at once, it will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook the food in batches if necessary.
- Cook the sausage over medium-high heat. This will help it to brown and develop flavor.
- Add the vegetables in stages. Start with the hardest vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, and add the softer vegetables, such as peppers and zucchini, later.
- Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. You don't want them to be mushy.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your liking.
- Serve immediately. Italian sausage and peppers stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Italian sausage and peppers stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It's a great way to use up leftover sausage, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. Serve it over rice, pasta, or your favorite bread. Enjoy!
