I get sausage and pepper subs from a local shop once in a
while and they do have red sauce on them. It's more like a
pizza sauce than a spaghetti sauce, fresh tasting. And not
too much.

At home, I prick the sausage, rub with olive oil and bake at 325
until they are cooked. Saute Italian pepper strips (wide) in olive oil,
remove when cooked and then do the same with onions. If you
want, toss in some garlic and basil. Then put all the ingredients
back into the large pan and heat them together.

I have them on a plate with slices of crusty Italian type bread,
but you can serve it on hoagie rolls. I don't serve it with anything
else like pasta.
