Instructions
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and reserve a little pasta water.
- In a large deep skillet, cook the Italian sausage and chopped bell peppers over medium-high heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until the sausage is browned and cooked through and the peppers begin to soften.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning and sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until the wine is reduced by about half.
- Add the diced tomatoes with their juices and dried basil. Simmer gently for at least 10 minutes so the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
- Fold the cooked noodles into the sauce. Add a small splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce, then season with salt and pepper.
- Serve topped with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
