Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, and thinly slice the shallots. Mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides. Remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced peppers and shallots. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Return the browned sausages to the skillet, nestling them among the peppers and shallots. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for garnish.
Serve hot with your choice of pasta, rice, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
