Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the Italian sausage links and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Once the sausages are browned, remove them from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, sliced red bell pepper, and sliced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Return Sausages to Skillet

    Slice the browned sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Finish with Fresh Basil

    Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Serve hot.
