Sausage preparation: Add 1lb of sausage separated into links to a heated skillet with 2Tbsp of olive oil. Brown links on each side for a few minutes and stick with a fork to release some juices. Add a ¼ cup of water to skillet. This will stop cooking and make a little a jus for later.
Set skillet aside til later.

Peppers and Onions Preparation:
2 Bell peppers (1 red,1 green)
2 medium yellow onions
pTbsp chopped garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Preparation: Cut Onions and Peppers into ¼ inch strips lengthwise. Add to a heated and oiled skillet. Cook until edges of peppers start to brown then add the remaining ingredients. Continue cooking allowing flavors to blend, when peppers still have a little crunch you can remove from the fire.

2-28 oz cans of crushed plum tomatoes, 1-5oz can tomato paste
1cup chopped onions, ½ cup chopped celery, 1Tbsp chopped celery
1Tbsp sugar
½ Tsp red pepper flakes

In a medium saucepan add olive oil and heat on medium fire. Add chopped onion and celery and let soften and add garlic and tomato paste and allow to cook while stirring for 5minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Salt to your taste and add sugar and cook 20-30 minutes adding basil right before finishing.

Assemble dish by first heating the sausage, then add the onions and peppers, allow flavors to blend for a few minutes before adding the marinara to the mixture. Let ingredients simmer a few minutes more before removing from stove.

Ciao & Enjoy!
