Homemade Pizza Sauce

From: Uruguay

1- med. onion chopped or sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped or sliced
2- Roma tomatoes, chopped
3- small can of tomato sauce
1-bay leaf
salt, pepper, oregano to taste
Optional: Garlic


Directions: 
In a frying pan, on med/high heat, add a good amount of oil, add the onions, green pepper, bay leaf, some salt and pepper. Once the vegetables start getting transparent add the fresh tomatoes and cook for a little more and add the whole can of tomato paste, in the same tomato can add approx. 2 cans ( use the can of tomato sauce to measure) of water to the pan, mix well and lower the heat to med/ low heat and cook for approx. 20 minutes. ad the oregano (as you like), salt and pepper to your taste too. If you like a looser sauce you can add a little more water, also add oil if needed, there should be little pools of oil in the sauce, but again you can leave out the extra oil if you are watching the calories, etc.
Once the sauce is done you are ready to put it on top of the dough, it does not matter if it is hot, but if you want you can always let it cool.
