Amore "herbed" tomato sauce

This recipe is based on one from Amore, whose tomato paste in a tube we use a lot. Our recipe below omits olives.

No fresh herbs are used in this recipe, although "herb paste" is. (The pictured tomato paste isn't used in this recipe but the garlic paste is.)

The recipe serves 4.

INGREDIENTS

3 medium tomatoes (maybe use diced tomatoes?)   

1/2 cup jarred roasted peppers

salt and pepper

(optional) 1/2 cup chopped and pitted Kalamata olives

4. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Prepare pasta as directed on its packaging.
