Ingredients:

12 ounces egg noodles

4 clove garlic, minced

1 yellow pepper, diced

1 pound Italian sausage

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 cup white wine (like chardonnay)

1 can(s) diced tomatoes with juice (28 oz)

2 tablespoons parsley

1 red pepper, diced

1 orange pepper, diced

Fresh Parmesan cheese, optional

1/4 cup basil, fresh

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Put a large pot on the stove over medium-high heat.

Add 2 tbsp of olive oil and let it sizzle.

Add the Italian sausage, then cook until crumbly and brown.

Transfer the sausage into a mixing bowl.

In the empty pot, add the bell peppers and sauté until soft. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Add the garlic, then sauté until fragrant.

Add the white wine, then scrape the bottom of the pot to get the browned bits. Simmer for a few minutes until it reduces its volume.

Add the olive oil, freshly chopped basil, and tomatoes. Stir and cook for a minute.

Add 3 tbsp of olive oil, then add the basil, 1/2 cup of the Julienned basil, and browned sausage. Stir until well blended.

Simmer everything for a few minutes.

Remove the pot from the stove.

Refer to the package of the noodles to know how to prepare them.

Add the drained noodles into the sauce, then toss until well coated.

Sprinkle basil over each serving to garnish.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
