Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), chopped

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by slicing the Italian sausage into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set everything aside for easy access while cooking.

    Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the sliced Italian sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onions become translucent. Next, add the chopped bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

        Add Tomatoes and Spices: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and dried Italian herbs, mixing everything well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the browned Italian sausage to the skillet. Gently toss all the ingredients together and let cook for another 3-4 minutes for the flavors to meld together.

            Serve: Remove from heat. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty one-pan meal!
