This tomato sauce fits with all kind of pasta. It is different from the Italian tomato sauces by its use of cinnamon and allspice.

Allspice (piment dioica) was discovered by Chrstoph Columbus on Jamaica on its second travel. As it was mistaken for the then valuable pepper it is also called Jamaican pepper (or Nelkenpfeffer (clove pepper) in the German speaking countries).  It tastes like a combination of cinammon, nutmeg, cloves and pepper and adds a great and special note to this sauce.
