Italian Drunken Noodles
Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Egg noodles, cooked 12 oz
Ground Italian sausage 1 lb
Bell peppers, chopped 2
Minced garlic 3 tsp
Italian seasoning 1 tsp
White cooking wine ½ cup
Diced tomatoes, not drained 1 can (28 oz)
Dried basil 1 tbsp
Salt and pepper To taste
Parmesan cheese, grated For garnish
Fresh chopped parsley For garnish
Instructions:
Cook Sausage and Peppers: Add the 1 lb ground Italian sausage and 2 chopped bell peppers to a large saucepan or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook until the sausage is completely browned and the peppers have begun to soften, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Sauté Aromatics: Lower the heat to medium. Add the 3 tsp minced garlic and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 30 seconds more, until the garlic is fragrant.
Deglaze with Wine: Mix in the ½ cup white cooking wine. Continue to sauté and stir until the liquid in the pot is reduced by half.
Add Tomatoes and Season: Pour the 1 can of diced tomatoes (not drained) into the pot. Add the 1 tbsp dried basil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Combine with Noodles: Add the 12 oz cooked egg noodles to the pot. Continue to sauté everything together for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are heated through and coated in the sauce.
Serve: Ladle the Italian Drunken Noodles into bowls. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
