  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), pureed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbs oregano
  • salt & pepper
  • 3 heaping tablespoons tomato paste
Directions
  1. Cook your pasta according to package directions.
  2. Brown your meat in a pan and add the onions, celery and garlic. Cook through.
  3. Stir in the pureed red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, spices and the tomato paste. You may add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to loosen it up a bit, but it should be thick. Simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Stir in the pasta and put everything into the pot. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and a lid, and cook on medium low for about 30 minutes.
