Italian Drunken Noodles

Cook the pappardelle noodles according to the package instructions until they’re al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage & ground meat. Cook it, while breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through.

Add the sliced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and red wine. Add Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to combine and heat through.

Serve the noodles garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese.
