Molto delizioso and mamma mia! Here's one easy homemade red gravy that's sure to make you think you're in a gondola on the Grand Canal. Onion and bell pepper are the soul of this vegetarian Venetian sauce, perfect to top any pasta or include in other Italian recipes.
In a medium Dutch oven or stew pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetable mixture and cook till slightly colored, about 3 minutes.
Add oregano, sugar, stir, and reduce heat to medium. Add tomato paste, combine with vegetables for 1 minute, stir in tomato sauce and add bay leaf. Simmer over medium to low heat, stirring frequently, 10 minutes. Don't dry it out. Be sure to partially cover as sauce may splatter. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve over pasta with a sprinkle of Parmesan, or as part of another recipe. Look forward to unbridled praise and perhaps an operatic aria or two.
