Recently, I had the pleasure of eating at a friend's house. He made a version of this dish, and a I was so impressed, I took notes. This is a nice variation on the classic Italian dish of sausage and peppers. This recipe makes a tasty, delicious easy to make meal that is great by itself, preferably with a glass of chianti, and also pairs nicely with rice.
