This simple and flavorful dish is classic Italian comfort food. Served by itself, this is a wonderful lunch, or with pasta or on a crusty Italian roll, a hearty dinner.
Cooking the peppers low and slow brings out their inherent sweetness. The addition of the chicken broth to deglaze the pan after cooking the sausage adds a rich depth of flavor, and the fresh herbs, added at the very end, brightens the dish.
This recipe is so simple as to scarcely be a recipe - more a process to assemble the dish. Try different flavors of sausage and different herbs. Or stay traditional - there is a reason it is a classic!
