Heat the olive oil in a big pan over medium high heat . Add the sausage and cook until it browned , about 5 minutes . Stir now and then so it cooks all around . Then take it out and set aside .
4. Cook Veggies
Use the same pan and add the veggies that take longer first , like broccoli and peppers . Cook for 3–4 mіnutes , then add the faster veggies like snap peas or zucchini . Stir fry until crunchy tender , about 5 mіnutes .
5. Combine All
Put the sausage back in the pan and pour the sauce over everything . Stir so its all covered . Let it cook 2–3 mіnutes until the sauce gets a bit thick . Serve hot .
