Ingredients

• 6 links Italian sausages (mild or hot)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 2 large Green bell peppers
• 1 large Yellow bell pepper
• 2 medium Onions
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the sausage links to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

While the sausages cook, slice the bell peppers and onions into thin strips. Mince the garlic.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced peppers and onions. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the pepper and onion mixture. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread on the side to soak up the flavorful juices.
