Spicy Spaghetti

2 green peppers

2 cans tomato paste

2 cans crushed tomatoes

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. basil leaves

1 tsp. oregano

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 pkg. pepperoni slices

1 pkg. meatballs

Cut up green peppers and cook in medium pot until soft. Add tomato paste, cooking until color becomes orange, then add crushed tomatoes and stir slowly. Add salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and garlic. Last, add meatballs and pepperoni to sauce. Let simmer for at least one hour.

This recipe may not look like much, but I promise you it is absolutely wonderful. The spiciness of the pepperoni with the flavor of the bell peppers makes for an incredible sauce. Add meatballs to the mix and you have an amazing, hearty meal that can be thrown together in no time. The next time we make this, I would love to try it with onions, because I think onions are wonderful is spaghetti sauce. If you're feeling adventurous, you can always buy whole pepperoni and slice it yourself. Although I love it that way, I prefer just the plain packaged pepperoni. Not only is it delicious in the sauce, it's so much easier to just throw it into the pot!
