Bacon & Vodka: Italian Monday - Roasted Red Pepper and Asiago Cheese Sausage with Peppers and Onions

So it's Monday and what better type of meal to cook on a Monday then Italiano! Now me being on this low-carb kick I couldn't make my homemade baked ziti (and let me tell you, my baked ziti is KILLER) so I decided to try another Italian classic - sausage, peppers and onions.

Here's how dinner went down tonight. The traditional recipe calls for a sweet Italian sausage, however I had these Roasted Red Pepper and Asiago Cheese Chicken Sausages burning a hole in my fridge, so I went the healthy route and used those. It's really simple - brown your sausage on all sides:

Once browned, set the sausage aside, melt some butter in the pan, then add your veggies - onions, peppers, minced garlic, basil, oregano and white wine. Now, I'm going to give you the link to the recipe when I'm all done and if following a recipe is your thing, then don't let me lead you astray. But let me tell you, when it comes to spices and seasonings, I don't listen to anything or anyone. The recipe says 4 minced garlic clove, I put in 6. The recipe says a teaspoon of basil and oregano, I shake out what's probably a good tablespoon. This method has not led me astray thus far, but I don't bake either, so I'm sure down the road when I feel the need to bake a pie or something it will backfire tremendously in my face. Wait, who am I kidding. I'm not ever going to bake a damn pie.
