Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the skillet.
  2. Add onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in diced tomatoes and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Add cooked sausage back to the skillet. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
  7. Add egg noodles to the skillet. Stir to coat noodles in the sauce. Cover and cook according to package directions, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and sauce has thickened.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausage.
  • If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth.
  • This dish is a great example of why meal planning can save you time during the week.
