Easy Italian Drunken Noodles
Ingredients
12 oz 340 g wide egg noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound 450 g Italian sausage, sliced or crumbled
1 medium onion thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 green bell pepper sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
½ teaspoon black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup marinara or tomato basil sauce
½ cup dry red wine or chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the red wine (or broth) and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to slightly reduce.
Add marinara sauce and return the sausage to the pan. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Add cooked noodles and gently toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs before serving.
