Ingredients

  • 4 large green peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 20 uncooked Italian sausage links

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, saute peppers and onion in oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, sugar, basil, salt and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until heated through.
