Sauté Peppers and Onions: In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté over medium heat until they are softened and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Combine Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and add tomato paste to the skillet. Stir to combine, allowing the flavors to meld.
Simmer with Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth to create a savory sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Reintroduce Sausages: Add the browned sausage pieces back to the skillet, allowing them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes. This ensures that the sausages absorb the flavors of the peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
Season to Taste: Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the sausage, peppers, and onions mixture. Serve the dish hot, either on a crusty Italian roll as a sandwich or over cooked pasta for a heartier meal.
Enjoy the Delicious Combination: Dig into the delightful combination of savory sausages, sweet peppers, and caramelized onions. The interplay of flavors and textures makes this dish a timeless and comforting favorite.
