Sausage and Peppers Rustica

The first time I had this, it was made with hot Italian, which was good, but it was so spicy it was hard to really enjoy the dish. So I prefer to make with a mild Italian sausage, but if you can take the heat, by all means go for the hot stuff!

Sausage and Peppers Rustica
2 TBSP. olive oil
1 (12 oz.) pkg Italian sausage links, sliced
2 (12 oz.) pkgs. frozen sliced red, green and yellow sweet peppers
1 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 large onion, sliced
2 (29 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
salt to taste
minced garlic to taste
dried basil to taste

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the sausage slices. Add the onions, mushrooms, peppers and saute until the onions are translucent. Add the remaining ingredients ans bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve over hot cooked pasta with a sprinkling of parmesan on top. Enjoy!
