Ingredients

  • 1 lb mild or hot Italian ground sausage
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, and thyme)

Instructions

1
Prep the ingredients

Mince the garlic, chop the vegetables, and pat the protein dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2
Sear & Sauté

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the protein and sear until golden brown on all sides.

3
Simmer & Build Flavor

Add the aromatics, sauce, and broth. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 27 minutes until cooked through and sauce is luscious.

4
Garnish and Serve

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, grated parmesan, or freshly squeezed citrus juice. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
