Pizzaiola Sausages the easy skillet recipe. It’s a perfect dinner-saver, ready in 20 minutes and always a crowd pleaser! In our family we love these quick and flavorful main courses, try also the Sicilian-style sausages and the wine-braised sausages or the hunter-style sausages.
I love browning the pizzaiola sausages in a pan without turning on the oven and without rushing, until they are nicely golden. That’s when they release all their flavor: I remove them from the pan and, in the same pan, add a generous pour of thick, creamy, and fragrant tomato sauce. Let it simmer gently and the kitchen fills with that typical Italian Sunday aroma, but the best moment is when I bring them to the table and everyone is ready to mop up the sauce! Pizzaiola sausages are truly delicious and the recipe is very simple.

How to make pizzaiola sausages
Heat a large skillet well and add the sausages, browning them thoroughly.
Deglaze with the white wine and let it evaporate, then remove the sausages and, in the same pan, pour a drizzle of oil and add a clove of garlic.
Add the tomato purée and season with salt and oregano, then continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
Return the sausages to the pan and add the mozzarella. Serve hot and melty!
Storage and tips for pizzaiola sausages
You can store the sausages in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days. For the best result, avoid piercing the meat; you can also add olives or capers at the end of cooking — in that case reduce the amount of salt in the recipe.
