Instructions

  • Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until tender but not mushy. Drain well and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through.
  • Add sliced red onion and both bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
  • Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the white wine. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off.
  • Add drained diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
  • Let the sauce simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
  • Top with chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat with a splash of water or olive oil for best texture.
