Following the package directions, cook the pappardelle noodles. Drain when dine and keep the noodles warm.

Crumble the spicy Italian sausage into the hot oil in the large, heavy-bottom pan or braising pot (you want to keep the sausage fairly chunky), and brown for a few moments on each side. Transfer the browned sausage with a slotted spoon to a small bowl to set aside.

Toss the sliced onion into the skillet with the sausage drippings and let it cook until brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning (you can always add a little more olive oil if required) and then season with the salt, Italian seasoning, and cracked black pepper.

After 2 minutes of sauteing the onion, add the sliced bell peppers and saute until cooked and golden. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the white wine and let it decrease for a few moments until nearly totally evaporated.

After the spicy Italian sausage has browned, add the diced tomatoes and their juice to the pan and stir to incorporate. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.

To complete the sauce, add the chopped parsley and around half of the julienned basil and pour in approximately 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil to produce a smooth, rich taste.

Toss the cooked pappardelle noodles into the sauce and gently integrate them with the sauce and the other ingredients using tongs; taste to determine if more salt and pepper are needed.

Divide the Italian Drunken Noodles among bowls and top with the remaining julienned basil (you can even top with shaved Parmesan if desired, and an extra drizzle of olive oil).
