Cook the Sausage:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausages and cook until browned on both sides, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove the sausages from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Vegetables:

In the same skillet, keep the heat at medium and add the Italian seasoning, basil, and garlic.
Cook for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Make the Sauce:

Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste.
Add the red pepper flakes, if using.
Add the Peppers and Onions:

Add the sliced bell peppers, onions, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Serve:

Serve the sausage and pepper mixture over mashed potatoes, noodles, polenta, or cauliflower rice.
