🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
- Boil pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
2. Cook the Protein & Veggies
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add Italian sausage, breaking it apart, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, and bell peppers until tender-crisp.
3. Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, sugar, and black pepper.
- Pour sauce into the skillet with vegetables and stir to combine.
4. Combine Everything
- Add the cooked pasta and sausage to the skillet.
- Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
5. Serve
- Plate the noodles and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
- Optional: drizzle with a little olive oil for extra richness.
💡 Tips
- For extra “drunken” flavor, add a splash of red wine or dry Marsala while tossing the noodles.
- Substitute Italian sausage with shrimp or chicken for a lighter version.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
