 A fun Low-FODMAP twist on a traditional Greek meat pasta sauce

---

With the warm taste of cinnamon, to the burst of flavor with oregano. This hearty comfort sauce will leave your stomach feeling full and happy :) 

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of ground beef 

• 1-2 tbs garlic-infused oil 

• 2 tbs of dried or fresh chives 

• 3 oz (6 tbs) tomato paste (Publix brand has no garlic and onion) 

• ½ oz (3tbs) of tomato sauce (Pomi has no garlic and onion) 

• 1-1 ½ cups water 

• Sprinkle of cinnamon 

• Salt and pepper to taste 

• Oregano to taste 

Instructions:

1. Sauté the chives in the garlic-infused oil over low heat. You don’t want to burn the chives. After about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, add in your meat and brown it 

2. Season the meat with salt and pepper. If needed, add in more chives and about 1tbs of garlic-infused oil for flavor 

3. In a separate bowl, mix the tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Add the mixture to the browned meat. It should be liquidy; if needed, add ¼ cup of water at a time. 

4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. The sauce should have thickened; if not, add 5 more minutes 

5. While simmering, add in cinnamon and oregano 

6. Once the sauce has thickened, make sure to taste it. It could be bland due to using garlic and onion alternatives :)
