Directions
Place sausages in skillet; cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet and simmer sausages 10 minutes.
While sausages cook, slice onion and pepper; set aside.
Drain any remaining water from sausages; discard. Place sausages into 9” x11” baking dish; set aside.
In the skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions; reduce heat to medium and sauté until vegetables are just crisp-tender. Add garlic and continue to sauté for another minute or two.
Place vegetables on top of sausage in the baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over.
