SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE
Medium-spicy flavor, tangy tomato taste (only for real sun-dried tomato lovers) and a bright, sweetish accent from the touch of orange and cinnamon. Use the best sun-dried tomatoes for this recipe. Try it on pasta (I suggest about 1/2 cup per 4 ounces pasta) with parmesan cheese or crumbled feta or toss with beans. It would also make a terrific pizza sauce. This recipe is easily halved and the sauce can be frozen. From Angelica's Home Kitchen in NYC, voted 2006 best vegetarian restaurant.
