Equipment
- Ovenproof skillet For cooking and baking the dish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Italian Sausage, sliced
- 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 whole Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 0.5 medium Onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp Beef Broth
- 1.5 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In an ovenproof skillet, cook the sliced Italian sausage over medium-high heat on the stove until fully cooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium, then add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they start to become tender. Remove and set aside.
- Drain any excess grease from the skillet to keep the dish from becoming too oily.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. This adds flavor to your dish.
- Whisk in the heavy whipping cream, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently until well combined.
- Continue to sauté the mixture until the sauce thickens, which should take around 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated into the sauce.
- Return the cooked sausage and vegetables to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
