1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions:

Cook the Sausage:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add Remaining Vegetables:

Add the bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Combine and Season:

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Stir in the spinach or kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a complete meal or over rice or pasta.
