Serve these Italian sausages as a sauce for pasta or rolls, or put on thick slices of bread, top with cheese and broil.

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 6 Italian sausages
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sweet basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 4 to 6 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 2 onions, halved and sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, cut in strips
  • dash cayenne pepper, more or less to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sliced mozzarella cheese, if desired

Preparation:

In a medium saucepan, simmer sausages in water for about 20 minutes; drain and transfer to slow cooker/Crock Pot. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Serve on crusty rolls or finish with a topping of mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler until cheese is melted and bubbly. A delicious meal with a tossed salad.

awesome, Member sdadawn

It is awesome - I just changed a couple things. Being a lazy cook, I used large can of whole and large can of diced tomatoes...Italian seasoning, mushrooms and sliced the sausage after the boiling part. Next time I will try pan frying instead of boiling to see the difference. But it was just what I was looking for - south beach dieter here with lite sausages and no recipe!! :D So thanks!
