Italian Drunken Noodles

Cook the Noodles:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles or pappardelle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Sausage and Vegetables:

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the Peppers and Wine:

Add the red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine reduce for 2 minutes.

Create the Sauce:

Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Serve:

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until well coated.

Garnish with fresh basil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
