Quick answer
How do you make sausage and peppers with marinara sauce?
Brown Italian sausage in a wide pan and set it aside. Cook sliced peppers and onions in the drippings until soft, add garlic, then pour in crushed tomatoes or marinara. Return the sausage, cover and simmer gently until it reaches 160°F inside and the sauce thickens, about 20 to 25 minutes.
