"No Pasta Needed" Pasta Sauce

I whipped up this sauce last night to eat with a nice crusty loaf of garlic bread:

1 Large Onion, diced
1 Bunch Asperagus, end removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
8 Large Mushrooms, sliced
1 Red bell pepper , diced OR 5 small sweet peppers, diced
2-4 garlic cloves, minced

2 Cans Crushed Tomatoes
1 Can tomato paste
2 TBSP Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper to Taste or 1 Large Jar of Favorite Traditional Sauce

Saute the first 5 ingredients in a little olive oil until cooked and tender (about 10 minutes). Mix in the rest and let simmer as long as you can stand it or until heated throughout. Serve with your favorite crusty bread... or over pasta if desired.
