Stir in remaining ingredients except tomato paste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is thickened and peppers are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato paste; heat thoroughly. If thicker sauce is desired, puree all or part of sauce in blender container or food processor bowl with metal blade.
