Ingredients
- 0.4536 lb Italian sausage
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach
- to taste fresh basil leaves for garnish
- to taste grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet, leaving the drippings behind.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil. Once hot, toss in the diced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the diced red and yellow bell peppers and sliced zucchini. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and juices start to release.
- Add the browned sausage back into the skillet, mixing everything well. Fold in the baby spinach and cook for an additional minute until wilted.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
Fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese are optional garnishes.
