Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, then mix in the Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover the skillet. Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
