Ever have one of those nights when there are several leftovers, and everyone is hungry? I decided to try my hand at this, and it went over quite well.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Your whole crew is going to love this easy Italian stir-fry. It's an Italian twist to stir-fry with flavorful crumbled Italian sausage as the base. All the chopped veggies (onion, mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, English peas) add the fresh mix-ins you expect from a stir-fry. The touch of balsamic vinegar adds a touch of tanginess that brings all the savory flavors together. We topped this quick and easy meal with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for a satisfying meal.
