Roasted Pepper and Tomato Sauce With Kick!

"A sweet, spicy, rich sauce using fresh ingredients inspired by my CSA bounty. Great over pasta and perogies. If you use a jar of of red peppers this is a snap to put together. I absolutely love spicy food, but if you're not a fan of spice try omitting the chili peppers or using only a small amount."
