Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

- Mince the garlic cloves finely.

2. Cook the Sausage
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

- Cook the sausage until browned, stirring occasionally. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

3. Sauté the Aromatics

- Sauté for an additional 3 minutes until the fennel becomes tender and translucent, and the garlic is fragrant.

4. Add Spice and Seasonings
- Sprinkle black pepper, paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, and chili powder over the mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Continue cooking for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together thoroughly.

5. Finish and Serve
- Taste the sausage mixture and adjust seasoning if needed with more black pepper or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

6. Plate and Enjoy
- Serve the spicy Italian sausage skillet hot, garnished with any extra fennel fronds for a fragrant touch. Perfectly paired with crusty bread or a simple side salad.
