2 medium yellow onions
pTbsp chopped garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dried oregano

2-28 oz cans of crushed plum tomatoes, 1-5oz can tomato paste
1cup chopped onions, ½ cup chopped celery, 1Tbsp chopped celery
1Tbsp sugar
½ Tsp red pepper flakes

In a medium saucepan add olive oil and heat on medium fire. Add chopped onion and celery and let soften and add garlic and tomato paste and allow to cook while stirring for 5minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Salt to your taste and add sugar and cook 20-30 minutes adding basil right before finishing.
Assemble dish by first heating the sausage, then add the onions and peppers, allow flavors to blend for a few minutes before adding the marinara to the mixture. Let ingredients simmer a few minutes more before removing from stove.

Chef Mario, I really appreciate your demonstration of skills and finesse. After watching hundreds of cooking episodes on KZbin, you demonstrate an authentic take on Italian cooking.

Great job chef...I'm licking my chops. You're one of the few I see on youtube that uses the sauce. I like it both ways sauce or no sauce, sausage & peppers is a great dish next to veal & peppers.

[@mariomodomio4434]

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed the video. I gotta get back on the stove and do more videos. You hit it when you said sauce or no sauce, I like both ways.

[@mariomodomio4434]

Hi Pat Glad you’re going to do this recipe. Good cooking and thanks for watching. I’ll be doing more, I’m at home on the stove but the technical part is a little challenging.

[@conradkappel9426]

Can tell you've done this many times before. Not a drop of oil or tomato sauce on your crispy white shirt! Lol. Looks great! When I make sausage and peppers (without the pasta and sauce) I learned never to poke holes in the sausage in order to keep all the fat (flavor) in the sausage. I also par boil the sausage before browning or slicing. But when using marinara sauce, I can see that poking holes and releasing some of the fat adds additional flavor to the sauce.

Hello Conrad, I’ve come to appreciate the diversity of cooking and the many ways a dish can be prepared. Par boiling sounds good for doing the grilled sausage. If you love to cook you learn something every day🇮🇹. Thx Chef Mario

[@lars2894]

Amazing recipe! Is it okay to use a pressure cooker (pressurized steam) to cook off the last part instead of using the oven? Do you think it would be too different?

[@amyflesch6728]

Yum!!!!!

[@phils1427]

Damn, that looks good!

[@mariomodomio4434]

Thanks a lot, much appreciated🇮🇹

[@SandraKettler]

Ok it’s a little silly but you haven’t put one spot on that white shirt while cooking that delicious sausage 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@mariomodomio4434]

It’s a miracle!! Back in the day I would go thru 2 aprons a day. Tomato gravy was my worst enemy.😁

[@josephortega3205]

You didn't show the sausage and pepper dish but for one sec. You should hav named this pasta W/ sausage and peppers. Dam man 😆

[@mariomodomio4434]

Sorry that you didn’t think I showed what you wanted to see Joe. I tried to show the versatility of the dish, as an appetizer or as an entree with or without spaghetti. It’s easy to see Chef Mario. Thx for the comment🇮🇹

[@johnnyangel9163]

Great recipe. But a.lot of work compared to other sources.

[@mariomodomio4434]

Hi Johnny. Thx for the input, but I have to say, to do a good sausage and peppers all of the elements of that dish are in the recipe. I am open to new ways to do this dish but as it is it always served me well and received many compliments. Thx Chef Mario
