Sweet Tomato Sauce with Cinnamon

Ingredients

  • ~6oz crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/4 to 1/2tsp cinnamon
  • salt, pepper, honey


Sautee the onions in a sauce pan with a little olive oil. When the onions are translucent, add the crushed tomatoes, the cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Taste. My crushed tomatoes were a little too sour, so I added a little honey. The idea was to accent the sweetness of the sweet potato in the gnocchi I served these with. I added about 1 tsp.

Thoughts: You can really taste the cinnamon. It was kind of a Moroccan inspiration, I guess. It worked really well with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.

Disaster Index: 2/10 - it was good, but I wouldn't say it rated a 1.
