What You'll Need

1 lb Italian sausage (casings removed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
1 bell pepper, diced (any color you like)
1 zucchini, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups baby spinach leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Italian Sausage:

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and soften, around 8-10 minutes.

Combine the Ingredients:

Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the diced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Return the cooked Italian sausage to the skillet, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes and baby spinach leaves. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, adjusting to your taste.

Finish and Serve:

To finish, cook the hash for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and the tomatoes to soften slightly. Remove from heat and serve hot. For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy this delicious, satisfying dish on its own or alongside crusty bread or a fresh side salad. Buon appetito!
