Ways to Serve Italian Sausage and Peppers

Italian sausage and peppers offer just enough flexibility to suit the mood of a weeknight meal—some days demand sweet Italian sausage, while others call for hot Italian sausage. Here are a few ways to serve the delicious pairing:

Hoagies: Stuff fresh hoagie rolls with sausage and peppers and top with provolone cheese for a basic, on-the-go classic.
Pasta sauce: Add sausage and peppers to diced tomatoes to level up a marinara sauce with penne.
Casserole: Combine peppers and sausage in a baking dish with cooked white rice (or cauliflower rice for an even healthier gluten-free meal) or pasta, and top with bread crumbs and mozzarella for a melty, savory casserole.
Pizza: Top pizza dough with red or white sauce, a layer of rich mozzarella, an even layer of baked sausage and peppers, and grated Parmesan cheese.
