Directions:Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Brush pepper skins with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt.
Place skin side down on large baking sheet.
Roast for about 20 minutes until peppers are tender and skins are lightly charred.
Remove from oven and set aside.
Reduce oven temperature to 350.
Meanwhile heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onions and cook until just tender, about 8-9 minutes.

Notes: To me, what makes this recipe special is the Italian sausage. Good Italian sausage fixed anyway is always a treat for me. This dish could include something as simple as putting the sausages in a baking dish with a little olive oil and some cut up chunks of potatoes with possibly salt and pepper seasoning. This is a dish so simple that it does not warrant a separate recipe but it is truly delicious.
