Instructions:
- In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the Italian sausages (casings removed) to the skillet. Break them into smaller pieces using a spatula or spoon. Cook until the sausages are browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Pour in the dry red wine and chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the torn fresh basil leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked fettuccine noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently with the sauce and ingredients until well combined.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Italian Drunken Noodles hot.
