Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Sausage
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add Seasonings & Wine
Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Slowly pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 5: Build the Sauce
Add diced tomatoes and return the sausage to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
Step 6: Combine & Serve
Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until evenly coated with sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serving Tip
Pair this dish with garlic bread and a crisp green salad for a complete Italian-inspired meal. A glass of the same white wine used in the sauce makes the perfect finishing touch 🍝
