Healthy Sauce Recipe

This recipe is a quick, easy, and oh-so-good sauce that will probably become a standard in your kitchen. The ingredients are probably already in your pantry, and no one will know that you threw this sauce together because you didn't start cooking until twenty minutes before your favorite television program begins.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
Three cloves garlic, finely chopped
One small onion, chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
One, 28-oz can tomatoes (preferably Italian plum tomatoes), drained and chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound dried pasta, such as penne or mostaccioli, cooked according to package directions
Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat, and saute the garlic and onion for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened.

Add the optional wine, tomatoes, and spices, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

Ladle the sauce over the cooked pasta and serve with grated Parmesan cheese. Serves 4 to 6.
