# Instructions:

01 - In a 4-litre Dutch oven or large skillet, heat 7 millilitres olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned. Remove sausage from the pan and set aside.
02 - Add remaining olive oil to the same pan. Sauté onion, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, and minced garlic until aromatic, approximately 3 minutes.
03 - Pour in white wine and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan, until almost fully evaporated.
04 - Add diced tomatoes with juices, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
05 - Return browned sausage to the pan along with the chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
06 - Cook egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water per package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
07 - Add drained noodles to the sauce. Toss to blend and ensure proper coating. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For deeper flavour, allow the sauce to simmer longer before combining with noodles. Adjust wine quantity for a richer reduction if preferred.
