Ingredients

• 4 links Italian sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

1. 01
   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
2. 02
   Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
3. 03
   Add the sliced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. 04
   Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
5. 05
   Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the peppers and onions. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
6. 06
   Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the halved sandwich rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up.
7. 07
   Place a slice of provolone cheese on each half of the rolls. Broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. 08
   Assemble the sandwiches by placing a sausage link on each roll, topping with the pepper and onion mixture.
9. 09
   Serve the sandwiches hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
