Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Crumble in the Italian sausage, cooking for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add chopped onion and bell peppers, sautéing for about 3–4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and stir for an additional 1–2 minutes.
Pour in a splash of white wine, scraping the bottom to release flavorful bits. Let it bubble for 2–3 minutes. Incorporate diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Return the sausage to the skillet and sprinkle in chopped parsley. Toss together for about 2–3 minutes, reheating the sausage and marrying the flavors.
Cook the noodles according to package instructions (about 8–10 minutes) until al dente. Drain and gently fold them into the skillet with the sauce.
Plate the Sizzling Italian Drunken Noodles, serve hot, and enjoy the vibrant colors and flavors!
