Np.

I love this dish and make it often. Here's what I do:

Pierce the casings (I use hot sausage) and boil the sausages for a few
minutes in a skillet. Remove to plate, dump the water. Olive oil, garlic
and onions - saute till translucent. In go the sliced peppers, salt, basil,
oregano to taste. I like a lot of it. Saute until wilted but not limp.
Add a can of crushed tomatoes or 2 large peeled and crushed fresh tomatoes.
Shot of white wine. Some red pepper flake is nice. Adjust seasonings. Add
sausages sliced to whatever size you like. Toss and cook until the water
has cooked off a bit. I serve with parmesan and ricotta cheese.
