In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the

roasted red pepper, wine, tomato paste, tomatoes, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes,
loosely covered. Uncover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes longer to
thicken. Turn off heat and let stand 5 minutes.
Insert the hand blender into the saucepan, making sure the protective
guard is submerged. Blend on Low, using an up-and-down motion until
ingredients are well combined, about 30 to 60 seconds, until the sauce
reaches desired consistency.
