🥘 Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika

📝 Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and pepper 5 minutes until softened.
