When I first met my sweetheart, he kept mentioning a delicious tuna tomato sauce he loves to make, with his special ingredient: cinnamon. At first I was skeptical, when I heard he wanted to add a seasoning, mostly ment for sweet dishes, into our savory pasta sauce with fish. Even so I gave it a go, and it blew my socks off! I was amazed at how the flavor of cinnamon, harmonized perfectly with the tuna. Ever since, it has been our staple dinner, when we want something simple and fast. It can be ready to serve in just 15min, and because of that perfect for long working or study days.
Give this special combination a go! I promise it will positively surprise you! Special Thank you and credits to my partner in crime.
