| 1 3/4 tsp | Salt |

| 1 can (14 oz) | Crushed tomatoes |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients needed for this delightful dish.
-
Cook Sausage: In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over moderate heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked through. This should take about 8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pan and let it cool slightly before cutting it into 1/2 inch slices.
-
Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add chopped onion, sliced red bell peppers, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Then, cover the pan and let the vegetables cook until they’re soft, stirring occasionally. This should take about 3 minutes longer.
-
Add Garlic: Uncover the pan and add minced garlic to the vegetables. Cook, stirring continuously, for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes aromatic.
-
Simmer Sauce: To the pan, add crushed tomatoes, broth, dry vermouth, the reserved sausage and its juices, chopped parsley, and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Cook Spaghetti: While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until it’s just done, which typically takes around 12 minutes. Once cooked, drain the spaghetti and set it aside.
-
Combine Ingredients: Toss the cooked spaghetti with the sausage and pepper mixture in the pan. Add grated Parmesan cheese and gently toss everything together until well combined.
-
Serve: Transfer the spaghetti with sausage and peppers to serving plates or a large platter. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this comforting dish!
