What is Sugo?
Pronounced /SOO-goh/
Definition
Sugo is the general Italian word for sauce, most often a tomato-based one, from sugo di pomodoro to the Italian-American Sunday gravy.
Sugo finto ("fake sauce") is the meatless version — soffritto and tomato cooked long enough to taste like it had meat in it.
In Italian-American households the Sunday version simmers with sausage, meatballs, and braciole until the afternoon is gone.

Quick answer
How do you cook sausage and peppers in the oven?
Roast sausage and peppers at 400°F (205°C) for 35 to 40 minutes on a single sheet pan. Toss the peppers and onions with olive oil and salt, nestle whole sausages on top, turn everything once at 20 minutes, and finish when the sausage reads 160°F.
