What truly elevates this dish is the way the herbs and seasonings mingle with the natural juices in the pan. A little oregano, parsley, and garlic bring out the robust character of the sausage, while a splash of broth or wine helps create a flavorful sauce that coats everything beautifully. This dish is perfect for weeknight dinners because it’s fast and satisfying, but also impressive enough when you want to serve something flavorful without spending hours in the kitchen. Whether served casually with crusty bread or plated more elegantly, Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions is that comforting classic that never disappoints.
