Costigan's Spicy Hot Tomato Sauce

Pasta - Sauce - red - -

• A couple of kilos (4 1/2 lb) of over ripe roma tomatoes, or an A10 tin of chopped tomatoes
• A couple of onions (preferably the sweet red ones)
• Chopped garlic to taste (I use lots)
• One red capsicum
• Herbs (fresh basil is best) and a bay leaf
• Hot chilli sauce or chopped chillies, to your liking
• 375 g / 13 1/4 oz tomato paste
• White wine (if it's a good one use half and drink the rest)
