Add onion and green pepper over medium heat 4 minutes until translucent, then stir in garlic, oregano and paprika and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Simmer
Add canned tomatoes, tomato paste and Worcestershire, season with salt and pepper, and simmer over medium-low 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to a spoon.
5
