- 1 pound Morty Pride Sweet or Hot Italian Sausage links
- 9 oz mixed color bell pepper, sliced into strips (about 2 large peppers)
- 2 oz sliced onion (about ½ cup)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup Marinara Sauce – see below

Instructions
Traditional Skillet Method
- Grill sausages and slice into rounds. Alternately, slice sausages and cook in a large skillet over medium heat with 1 ½ teaspoon oil, to brown (about 8-10 minutes). Remove sausage from the pan.
- While the sausage is cooking, slice the peppers and onion. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the oil over medium heat until it is hot. Swirl to coat the pan. Saute the vegetables with the garlic until softened (about 10 minutes). Add the sausage and any accumulated juices back to the pan to re-heat. Add the Marinara sauce and stir to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over your favorite pasta or on toasted hoagie rolls.
