This recipe is inspired by the classic Italian sausage and pepper sandwich. I wanted to create a version that was a bit lighter and healthier, but still packed with flavor. I started with ground Italian sausage, which I browned in a skillet. Then I added some diced zucchini, onion, and bell pepper. I cooked the vegetables until they were tender and slightly browned, and then seasoned the whole thing with just a bit of salt and pepper. Finally, I finished it off with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. The result is a hearty and satisfying dish that's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
