T, I make two pasta sauces like that - one is basically just peppers sauteed with a little onion in (much less) olive oil and butter, added to fresh basil and grated Parmesan when tossing with the pasta. The other has bits of sausage and some canned plum tomatoes. Yum.
You could definitely cut the olive oil by half. Possibly even more, particularly if you're using a nonstick pan.
