- 1 lb bulk spicy Italian sausage
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pappardelle according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large heavy bottomed skillet or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add sausage to pan, breaking up into small chunks with a spatula. Let brown, then remove to a plate and set aside.
Add onion to pan, and let cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add more oil to the sausage drippings if needed. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings and stir to combine.
Add in bell peppers, and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Then stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Add wine and let reduce for a couple of minutes. Stir in tomatoes, then return sausage back to pan. Let simmer about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Drizzle in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, adjust seasoning as needed, then stir in basil and parsley.
Add pappardelle to sauce and toss with tongs. Serve and enjoy!
