Instructions:

1. Brown Meat & Soften Peppers: Add the ground Italian sausage and chopped bell peppers to a large saucepan or skillet with deep sides. Place over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking up the sausage, until the meat is completely browned and the peppers have begun to soften.
2. Add Garlic & Seasoning: Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds longer until fragrant.
3. Deglaze with Wine: Mix in the white cooking wine. Continue to sauté until the liquid in the pot is reduced by half.
4. Add Tomatoes & Seasonings: Pour the diced tomatoes (do not drain the can) into the pot along with the dried basil and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
5. Combine with Noodles: Mix in the cooked egg noodles. Continue to sauté for a few minutes until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.
6. Garnish & Serve: Top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
