1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 large clove garlic, peeled and crushed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon small capers
1/2 tablespoon anchovy paste or mashed anchovies (about 1/2 of a 2-ounce can), drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
On a lightly floured board, roll the puff pastry out with a floured rolling pin into a rectangle measuring about 5x14 inches.
Place the pastry on the cookie sheet, roll up the edges slightly to form a little border, and return the pan to the refrigerator while preparing the tomato sauce.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add he onion and saute it until translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the green pepper and continue cooking for 2 minutes more.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds longer.
Stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, basil, or egano, capers, anchovy paste, sugar, salt, and pepper; bring the mixture to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer it for about 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a cookie sheet with baking parchment.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pastry and place the pan in the middle of the preheated oven.
Bake for about 7 or 8 minutes, until the pastry has begun to puff.
Turn the heat down to 350°F and continue baking until the crust is golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven, brush 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the filling, and let the tart sit for a few minutes
