1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by washing the red and green cherry peppers. Remove the stems and slice them in half lengthwise, discarding the seeds. Set aside.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely. This will enhance the flavor of the dish.

3
Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet Italian sausage. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
4
Add Garlic and Peppers
Once the sausage is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the prepared red and green cherry peppers, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
5
Melt the Cheeses
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sausage and pepper mixture. Remove the skillet from heat, cover it with a lid, and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
6
Finish with Parmesan
Once the mozzarella has melted, sprinkle the flaky Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
