In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, heat margarine until bubbly & hot, add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and saute until onion is translucent. Add beef, tomatoes, reserved liquid, and paste and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and thoroughly heated; spoon beef mixture over ricotta cheese and bake until pie is thoroughly heated, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle pie with mozzarella cheese & bake until cheese is melted and just begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
