Semi-Homemade Italian Sausages & Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb Italian sausage (will probably be 4 nice sized links)
    2 cups cheese-flavored spaghetti sauce
    1 small yellow bell pepper, cored and cut into strips
    1 small green bell pepper, cored and cut into strips
    1/2 cup sweet onion, cut into strips like the pepper (optional)
    1 (15 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes (drained)
    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Preparation
    In a large skillet, mix together spaghetti sauce, peppers, onions (if you are using them) and drained tomatoes.
    Set your sausage links in the sauce.
    Cover and simmer on med-low for 45 minutes.
    If sauce is thick enough for you, move on to the next step. Otherwise, if you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the sausages and thicken your marinara sauce by adding 1 tsp of cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water to your sauce, turn up to med-high heat and bring to a boil, return it to a simmer for 5 more minutes and it should be plenty thick.
    To serve, place one sausage on your plate, cover with 1/2 cup of sauce and sprinkle with the cheeses to your liking (cheese will melt immediately). Note that you can serve these in buns/rolls if you like!
    ENJOY!
