- Meanwhile, remove casings from sasage and saute with onion, pepper and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring and crumbling sausage until sausage is done and vegetables softened (about 7 or 8 minutes).
- Remove from heat and drain off fat.
- Add tomatoes, olives, tomato paste, capers and anchovy paste to pan and bring to a boil. (I like to give the tomatoes a couple of pulses in the food processor to break them up a little).

- Spray 8-inch square casserole dish with non-stick spray.
