Red Sauce

I use this with ready-made meatless meatballs and white fish. You can actually cook the fish directly in the sauce.

1 tsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed

1 red pepper, chopped

15 oz can tomato sauce

sweet or hot paprika (1-2 tsp)

salt and sugar to taste

In a saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic, covered, until translucent. Add the pepper, and cook, covered, until tender. Add the tomato sauce and spices, and simmer for around 15 minutes. Using a handheld mixer or a food processor, puree until smooth.
