Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the bell peppers and onion, and mince the garlic.
