How to prepare Capsicum tomato sauce with meatballs

This light tomato sauce brings out the taste in meatballs anyday, anytime. To add a colorful twist to this light sauce, I decided to add capsicums. The most common variety found in Nigeria are the green and red types popularly known as green bell pepper and red bell pepper (Tatashey). The ones I used for this recipe have this sweet after taste unlike the Nigerian grown capsicums.
