Step 1

Start by slicing the Red Chili Pepper (1) . Yellow Bell Pepper (1) , Cubanelle Pepper (1) and Green Bell Pepper (1) .

Step 2

Thinly slice the Sweet Onions (2) .

Step 3

In a pan over high heat, add the Olive Oil (1/4 cup) . Once the oil begins to shimmer add all the peppers into the pan. Stir and cook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Once the peppers have started to cook down, lower the heat and add the sliced onions. Continue to cook for 6-7 minutes over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Slice the Mild Italian Sausages (6) into 1/2 inch pieces.

Step 6

Move the peppers and onions to the side and add the sausage pieces into the pan. As you lay them down cover them with the peppers and onions- we want to get a nice sear on the sausage pieces.

Step 7

Next add the Balsamic Vinegar (1/4 cup) and mix together. Proceed to add the Granulated Sugar (1/4 cup) to help cut the acidity from the tomatoes. If there is too much fat/oil in the pan, feel free to spoon it out. Following that add the Canned Crushed Tomatoes (1 3/4 cups) and Tomato Paste (1 Tbsp) and mix together.

Step 8

Add the Fresh Basil (1/4 cup) Dried Oregano (1/2 tsp) , and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/4 tsp) . Mix together, lower the heat to low and place the lid on. Continue to cook with the lid on for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Before serving season with Salt (1/2 tsp) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) . Stir together and serve with your choice of pasta if desired. Enjoy!
