Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 pound Italian sausage, sweet or spicy
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow onions, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup Marsala wine
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 Italian sandwich rolls optional

Instructions

In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil and brown sausages (1 pound), on both sides, over medium-high heat. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Then add peppers (2), onion, salt (1 teaspoon), and black pepper (1 teaspoon) and cook over medium heat, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle Italian seasonings (1 teaspoon), basil (1/2 cup), and garlic (4 cloves), and cook until garlic is fragrant about 2 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste (2 tablespoons), Marsala (1 cup), and diced tomatoes (1 can). Bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to lift up any brown bits.
Slice the sausage into 1-inch pieces and add back to the skillet. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 20-25 minutes.
Serve in pasta bowls or on toasted Italian rolls split in half lengthwise.
